Auckland regional telemedicine retinopathy of prematurity screening network: A 10‐year review
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding condition affecting the retinae of premature infants. Effective screening is necessary for timely treatment.
Changed ophthalmic workload following introduction of digital retinal photography for retinopathy of prematurity screening
TLDR
The reduction in workload following the introduction of nurse‐led WFDRI to a large neonatal nursery is assessed to show improvement in care of premature infants and for ophthalmologists.
Use of digital retinal imaging in screening for retinopathy of prematurity
TLDR
Digital retinal imaging is emerging as an important alternative tool for diagnosing retinopathy of prematurity, and its use has even been extended to developing countries.
Wide-field digital retinal imaging for retinopathy of prematurity screening in Australasia: a survey of practicing ophthalmologists.
TLDR
A significant proportion of ROP screeners have access to and are using WFDRI, but few currently use a telemedicine model for ROP screening.
Current Trends in Telemedicine for Retinopathy of Prematurity
TLDR
Clinical ROP management standards have been established by seminal studies such as the Cryotherapy for ROP (CRYO-ROP), and have significantly decreased the incidence of poor visual outcomes in ROP.
Alternative methods for the screening of retinopathy of prematurity: binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy vs wide-field digital retinal imaging
TLDR
The sensitivity and specificity of WFDRI was excellent for the diagnosis of severe and treatment-requiring ROP, however, BIO was superior in mild ROP particularly for the ones in retinal periphery.
Telemedicine for retinopathy of prematurity

    Current opinion in ophthalmology

TLDR
As the worldwide incidence of ROP continues to rise, the use of telemedicine for screening, diagnostic and educational purposes will assume increasing importance in the delivery of healthcare for premature infants.

The Accuracy of Digital Imaging in Diagnosis of Retinopathy of Prematurity in Iran: A Pilot Study
TLDR
The overall study result did not provide evidence to propose digital photography as a substitute for indirect ophthalmoscopy in the diagnosis of ROP, but digital photography may show good potential as a screening modality in developing countries.
Causes of childhood low vision and blindness in New Zealand

Development of multiple subretinal hemorrhages during diode laser supplementation for retinopathy of prematurity.
TLDR
It is hypothesized that subretinal hemorrhages occur from trauma to the microvasculature secondary to globe manipulation during scleral depression at the time of laser treatment for threshold retinopathy of prematurity.
Systematic Review of Digital Imaging Screening Strategies for Retinopathy of Prematurity
TLDR
The evidence base is not sufficient to recommend that retinal imaging be routinely adopted by NICUs to identify infants who have serious retinopathy of prematurity, and no generalizable cost-effectiveness data were found.

  • 2008
TLDR
Remote interpretation of digital fundus images is a useful adjunct to conventional bedside ROP screening by indirect ophthalmoscopy and it was highly unlikely that severe ROP would be missed when image quality was high.

Screening Examination of Premature Infants for Retinopathy of Prematurity
TLDR
The attributes on which an effective program for detecting and treating ROP could be based are presented, including the timing of initial examination and subsequent reexamination intervals.

Wide-field digital retinal imaging versus binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy for retinopathy of prematurity screening: a two-observer prospective, randomised comparison
TLDR
WFDRI showed relatively poor sensitivity in detecting mild forms of ROP in the retinal periphery, resulting in difficulty in making decisions to discharge infants from the screening programme, and should be regarded as an adjunct to, rather than a replacement for, BIO in routine ROP screening.
Screening for retinopathy of prematurity--a comparison between binocular indirect ophthalmoscopy and RetCam 120.
TLDR
RetCam may replace BIO for screening of ROP and was detected in 63 of 87 examinations by BIO and in 56 of 87 RetCam examinations, while nine cases having ROP were missed by the RetCam.

TLDR
Early treatment of high-risk prethreshold ROP significantly reduced unfavorable outcomes to a clinically important degree and led to modified recommendations for the use of peripheral retinal ablation in eyes with ROP.
