The incidence of ROP requiring treatment is increasing in some developed countries in conjunction with higher survival rates at the lower end of gestational age (GA).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Material and methods<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The incidence of ROP and severe ROP (sROP) requiring treatment in Switzerland was analysed using the SwissNeoNet registry. We conducted a retrospective cohort analysis of very preterm infants with a GA below 32 weeks who were born between 2006 and 2015 in Switzerland. Patient characteristics were stratified according to GA.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>9.3% and 1.8% of very preterm infants in Switzerland developed ROP of any stage and sROP, respectively. The incidence of ROP treatment was 1.2%. Patients with 24 and 25 weeks GA had the highest proportion of ROP treatment at 14.5% and 7.3%, respectively, whereas the proportion of treated infants at or above a GA of 29 weeks was 0.06%. Similarly, the risk of sROP declined strongly with increasing GA. During the observation period of 10 years, the incidence of ROP treatment ranged between 0.8% and 2.0%. Incidences of sROP or ROP treatment did not increase over time.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The incidence of ROP treatment in Switzerland is low and was stable over the analysed period. The low incidence of sROP in patients with a GA of 29 weeks or more leaves room for a redefinition of ROP screening criteria.<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1136\/archdischild-2017-313574","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,15]],"date-time":"2017-09-15T21:05:18Z","timestamp":1505509518000},"page":"F337-F342","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1136\/crossmarkpolicy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":50,"title":["Incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and ROP treatment in Switzerland 2006\u20132015: a population-based analysis"],"prefix":"10.1136","volume":"103","author":[{"given":"Roland","family":"Gerull","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, Inselspital Bern, Bern, Switzerland"},{"name":"Department of Neonatology, University Children\u2019s Hospital UKBB, Basel, BS, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Viviane","family":"Brauer","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, Inselspital Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Dirk","family":"Bassler","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Bernard","family":"Laubscher","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, H\u00f4pital Neuch\u00e2telois, Neuch\u00e2tel, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Riccardo E","family":"Pfister","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, University Hospital Geneva, Geneva, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mathias","family":"Nelle","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, Inselspital Bern, Bern, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"B\u00e9atrice","family":"M\u00fcller","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Intensive Care and Neonatology, Ostschweizer Kinderspital St. Gallen, Gallen, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Christina","family":"Gerth-Kahlert","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mark","family":"Adams","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Neonatology, University Hospital Zurich, Zurich, Switzerland"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"239","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,9,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2025090503335972000_103.4.F337.1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1056\/NEJMra1208129"},{"key":"2025090503335972000_103.4.F337.2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ophtha.2014.07.050"},{"key":"2025090503335972000_103.4.F337.3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/S0140-6736(13)60178-6"},{"key":"2025090503335972000_103.4.F337.4","first-page":"262","article-title":"Fibroblastic Overgrowth of Persistent Tunica Vasculosa Lentis in Infants Born Prematurely: II.
