Most used screening criteria of birth weight \u22642 kg (62%) with variation in cut-off gestational age (\u226437wk, 34%; \u226434wk, 22%; \u226432wk, 31%). RetCam (Natus Medical Incorporated, Pleasanton, CA, USA) wide-field fundus photography assisted most screeners (72%) and was exclusively used by many (29%). Among 55 ophthalmologists treating ROP, anti-vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was preferred over laser for both zone I (76% vs 24%) and zone II ROP (58% vs 42%). Retina specialists (P=0.004) and ophthalmologists with &gt;3mo of training (P=0.03) were more likely to use anti-VEGF over laser for zone I ROP. Lack of laser training (8\/20, 40%), access (6\/20, 30%) and anesthesia (4\/20, 20%) were common barriers to laser treatment.\nCONCLUSION: Chinese ROP screeners favor anti-VEGF injection and RetCam imaging for ROP management. A better understanding of ROP screening and treatment informs future research and education efforts in China.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.18240\/ijo.2021.08.17","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T08:25:38Z","timestamp":1627374338000},"page":"1241-1247","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":8,"title":["Survey of current retinopathy of prematurity practices in China"],"prefix":"10.18240","volume":"14","author":[{"name":"Eye Associates Northwest P.C., Seattle, Washington 98104-1306, USA","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Thao Phuong","family":"Le","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Leona","family":"Ding","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-0005, USA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Rong","family":"Hu","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Hunan People&#x2019;s Hospital, Changsha 410005, Hunan Province, China","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Xiao-Bo","family":"Lou","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, Hunan People&#x2019;s Hospital, Changsha 410005, Hunan Province, China","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"J Niklas","family":"Ulrich","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27515, USA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Michelle T","family":"Cabrera","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"name":"Department of Ophthalmology, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-0005, USA; Department of Ophthalmology, Seattle Children&#x2019;s Hospital, Seattle, WA 98105, USA","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"7543","container-title":["International Journal of Ophthalmology"],"original-title":[],"link":[{"URL":"http:\/\/ies.ijo.cn\/en_publish\/2021\/8\/20210817.pdf","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2021,7,27]],"date-time":"2021-07-27T08:25:53Z","timestamp":1627374353000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"http:\/\/ies.ijo.cn\/gjyken\/ch\/reader\/view_abstract.aspx?file_no=20210817&flag=1"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,18]]},"references-count":0,"journal-issue":{"issue":"8","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,18]]}},"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.18240\/ijo.2021.08.17","relation":{},"ISSN":["2222-3959","2227-4898"],"issn-type":[{"value":"2222-3959","type":"print"},{"value":"2227-4898","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2021,8,18]]}}}
