| Abstract |
To analyze posterior segment findings in term and premature infants using the RetCam image database. RetCam images taken of infants born between January 2012 and December 2015 were reviewed. Group 1 included infants with posterior segment findings other than retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Group 2 included infants with mild-to-severe ROP. The baseline characteristics, anterior segment findings, and percentage of infants who received treatment were compared among the 2 groups. In total, 331 out of 3440 infants (9.6%) were included. The major diagnoses in group 1 (n = 75) were retinal hemorrhages in 26, optic nerve pathologies in 14, findings associated with a metabolic disease in 6, ocular tumors in 5, persistent hyperplastic primary vitreous in 4, and familial exudative vitreoretinopathy in 4 cases. The mean birth weight (g) (2481.9 ± 700.5 in group 1 vs 1090.5 ± 330.9 in group 2), gestational age (weeks) (35.9 ± 3.4 in group 1 vs 28.2 ± 2.4 in group 2), and postmenstrual age at initial examination (35.9 ± 3.4 in group 1 vs 28.2 ± 2.4 in group 2) were significantly different among the 2 groups (p < 0.001). Thirteen out of 75 cases in group 1 and 124 out of 256 ROP cases received therapy (p < 0.001). Anterior segment pathologies were found in 13.3% of group 1 versus 7.8% of group 2 infants (p = 0.216). A considerable number of infants suffered from posterior segment disorders other than ROP. The majority of these infants were term babies. Routine fundus screening may be recommended in all newborns to diagnose all posterior segment pathologies other than ROP. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 11 August 2017.
All research outputs
#20,442,790
of 22,997,544 outputs
Outputs from International Ophthalmology
#673
of 1,041 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#276,954
of 317,463 outputs
Outputs of similar age from International Ophthalmology
#16
of 25 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,997,544 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 1,041 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 317,463 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 25 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 1st percentile – i.e., 1% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
