The present paper reports on data from the register on various aspects of screening for ROP in infants born between 2010 and 2011 and compares the results with those for a previously published cohort born between 2008 and 2009.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>During the study period, 1744 infants were screened for ROP. Mean GA was 28.4\u00a0w (22\u201331), and mean birth weight was 1239\u00a0g (382\u20132615). Screening started at postnatal age (PNA) 5.4\u00a0w (0.4\u201313.3) and postmenstrual age (PMA) 33.8 w (24.9\u201350.1) Mean number of examinations was 5.4 per infant (1\u201338).<\/jats:p><jats:p>Mild (stages 1\u20132) and severe (\u2265 stage 3) ROP was found in 15.4% and 8.7%, respectively. Treatment was performed in 4.2% (73\/1744) of the infants, but in none with a GA of 30\u00a0weeks or more. The first treatment was performed at a mean PNA and PMA of 12.7 w (7.7\u201325.4) and 37.4 w (32.1\u201351.4), respectively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>Recently introduced new guidelines for ROP screening in Sweden remain applicable. Reassuringly, in infants born between 2010 and 2011, incidence of ROP, frequency and timing of treatment, frequency and timing of examinations and national coverage of ROP screening remained almost identical to those for a previous cohort from 2008 to 2009. The two SWEDROP cohorts provide a basis for discussion among Swedish ophthalmologists and neonatologists on the question of further lowering the upper screening limit with 1\u00a0week.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/aos.12506","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,18]],"date-time":"2014-07-18T07:08:53Z","timestamp":1405667333000},"page":"265-268","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":35,"title":["Evaluation of new guidelines for ROP screening in Sweden using SWEDROP \u2013 a national quality register"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"93","author":[{"given":"Gerd","family":"Holmstr\u00f6m","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neuroscience\/Ophthalmology University Hospital Uppsala Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Ann","family":"Hellstr\u00f6m","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Pediatric Ophthalmology The Queen Silvia Children's Hospital Sahlgrenska Academy University of Gothenburg Gothenburg Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Peter","family":"Jakobsson","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical and Experimental Medicine Link\u00f6ping University Link\u00f6ping Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Pia","family":"Lundgren","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Sciences Ume\u00e5 University Ume\u00e5 Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Kristina","family":"Tornqvist","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology Lund University Hospital Lund Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Agneta","family":"Wallin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"St. Erik's Eye Hospital Stockholm Sweden"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"311","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"e_1_2_6_2_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archophthalmol.2010.346"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_3_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archopht.121.12.1684"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_4_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1038\/sj.eye.6702841"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_5_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.77.7.417"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_6_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archophthalmol.2012.2357"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_7_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1136\/bjo.86.12.1399"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_8_1","volume-title":"Principals and practice of screening for disease","author":"Wilson JMG","year":"1968"},{"key":"e_1_2_6_9_1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1001\/archophthalmol.2012.243"}],"container-title":["Acta Ophthalmologica"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/api.wiley.com\/onlinelibrary\/tdm\/v1\/articles\/10.1111%2Faos.12506","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/aos.12506","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1111\/aos.12506","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1111\/aos.12506","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2023,9,11]],"date-time":"2023-09-11T04:06:26Z","timestamp":1694405186000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/aos.12506"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,18]]},"references-count":8,"journal-issue":{"issue":"3","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2015,5]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1111\/aos.12506"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1111\/aos.12506","archive":["Portico"],"relation":{},"ISSN":["1755-375X","1755-3768"],"issn-type":[{"value":"1755-375X","type":"print"},{"value":"1755-3768","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2014,7,18]]},"assertion":[{"value":"2014-03-25","order":0,"name":"received","label":"Received","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2014-06-10","order":1,"name":"accepted","label":"Accepted","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}},{"value":"2014-07-18","order":2,"name":"published","label":"Published","group":{"name":"publication_history","label":"Publication History"}}]}}
