Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the outcome of transpupillary diode laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) at one institution in Romania.
Methods: This retrospective case series included all infants who received indirect diode laser photocoagulation for ROP between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2012.
Results: The 160 eyes of 83 infants were classified into two categories: 136 eyes (85%) with classic disease (stage III ROP in zones 1 or 2) and 24 eyes (15%) with aggressive posterior ROP (AP- ROP). ROP regressed in 141 eyes (88.12%). The success rate was significantly better in the classic ROP group (94.11%) compared to the APROP group (54.16%) (P <.001).
Conclusions: The ROP regression rate after the laser treatment was 88% in this series.
