Popis: OBJECTIVE To examine whether early-term delivery impacts on the long-term ophthalmic health of offspring. METHODS A retrospective population-based cohort study was conducted, including all singleton deliveries (1991-2014) occurring at a tertiary medical center. Gestational age was divided into: early prematurity, late prematurity, and early, full, late, and post term. Hospitalizations of offspring up to 18 years of age involving ophthalmic morbidity were evaluated. Survival curves compared cumulative hospitalizations and regression models controlled for confounders. RESULTS During the study period, 243 363 deliveries met the inclusion criteria. Ophthalmic-related hospitalization rates were lower among early-term born children (1.0%) as compared with early- (2.2%) and late-preterm (1.3%) born children, but higher than those in full- (0.9%), late- (0.8%), and post-term (0.8%) born offspring (P
