Abstrakt: Title: Minimally fibrotic Stage 5: A clinical prognostic factor in eyes undergoing vitrectomy for stage 5 retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Purpose: To define minimally fibrotic stage 5 ROP and to demonstrate better surgical outcomes in this subgroup.
Methods: A cohort of eligible eyes with stage 5 ROP undergoing vitrectomy were further divided into those with minimally fibrotic stage 5 and others. Minimally fibrotic stage 5 ROP was defined as those stage 5 eyes having a translucent retrolental membrane with visibility of the underlying retinal vessels and absence of anteriorly rotated ciliary processes. We reported on anatomic and visual outcomes in eyes with defined characteristics of this subgroup identified before surgery and then observing them post vitrectomy over a period of time as compared to others.
Results: Minimally fibrotic stage 5 eyes had better visual (p = .0068) and anatomical outcomes (p = .0001).
Conclusion: Minimally fibrotic stage 5 ROP shows ridge to ridge traction that has resulted in a traction retinal detachment with a retrolental membrane, but fibrotic change has just begun. This stage 5 ROP with limited fibrosis represents a subset of this stage 5 ROP with a positive anatomic and visual prognosis.
