NATIONAL DANISH REGISTRY OF BLIND AND PARTIALLY SIGHTED CHILDREN Kamilla Rothe Nissen, Annette Rasmussen The study population was drawn from The Danish Registry for the Blind and Partially Sighted Children which is a national registry of all children (<18 years) with visual impairment or blindness. Defined as visual acuity ≤6/18, hemianopia or visual field <20 degrees on the better seeing eye. In addition, all children with progressive retinal disease must be registered at the time of diagnosis irrespective of visual function. The registry covers the years since 1970. Danish Registry for the Blind and Partially Sighted Children 31.12.2020. Total number of children: 1836 For the present study we included 1) Children < 1 year of age: N= 57. We focus on 2) The premature and the children with ROP seqvl at registration 2002-2020 Premature Children (Gestational age < 32 weeks or birth weight < 1500 g). Onehundred-and-sixtysix premature children of which ROP were described in 51 children were included. In conclusion • During the first year of life the primary cause of visual impairment in the Danish Registry is delayed visual maturation CVI 49%, congenital cataract 11%/ albinism 11% are the second common cause. Congenital nystagmus 9% is the third frequent cause. • ROP is noted in 2% of the diagnoses. • Among newly registered premature children the vision improved to withdrawal of the Registry (v.a.> 0.3) in 20% of the prematures and in 16% of the children with ROP. • In the group of prematures the majority is partially sighted 56%. Partially sight and blindness almost have the same frequency 43%/41% in children with ROP. • Visual impairment as a single disability was found in 23 % of the prematures and in 51 % of the children with ROP. Visual impairment and an additional disability was described in 77 % of the premature children and in 49% of the children with ROP. EPOS 2021 Invited Speaker Abstracts 6 [L2] EPIDEMIOLOGY OF ROP Gerd Holmström Dep Neuroscience, ophthalmology, University Hospital, Uppsala, Sweden Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) remains an important cause of childhood blindness worldwide. Also, in countries like Sweden, where national screening programs have been available for decades, prematurely born infants go blind from ROP. The panorama of ROP is continuously changing and varies in different parts of the world. In developing countries, a third epidemic of ROP is evolving and very big babies may develop ROP. In highly developed countries, continuously improved neonatal care has resulted in increased survival of extremely immature babies with a high risk of very severe ROP, and, at the same time, a reduced incidence of ROP in the less immature babies, as illustrated in a recent Swedish study based on a national ROP register. Further, the most immature babies sometimes develop a central and rapidly progressing ROP requiring very prompt and efficient treatment. National screening programs for ROP are strongly recommended worldwide, to identify infants with severe ROP, to provide treatment at a correct time and to prevent prematurely born infants from going blind. Regarding inclusion criteria, however, such programs need to be adjusted to each country. EPOS 2021 Invited Speaker Abstracts 7 [L3] THE PREMATURE CHILD.
