High or Low Oxygen Saturation and Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Meta-analysis

High or low oxygen saturation and severe retinopathy of prematurity: a meta-analysis.

CONTEXT Low oxygen saturation appears to decrease the risk of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm newborns when administered during the first few weeks after birth. High oxygen saturation seems to reduce the risk at later postmenstrual ages (PMAs). However, previous clinical studies are not conclusive individually. OBJECTIVE To perform a systematic review and meta-analysis to r...

Interventions To Prevent Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Meta-analysis.

CONTEXT The effectiveness of many interventions aimed at reducing the risk of retinopathy has not been well established. OBJECTIVE To estimate the effectiveness of nutritional interventions, oxygen saturation targeting, blood transfusion management, and infection prevention on the incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). DATA SOURCES A comprehensive search of several databases was con...

Oxygen free radicals and retinopathy of prematurity.

High or low oxygen saturation for the preterm baby.

The observational study by Tin et al 1 of outcome related to oxygen saturation in infants of less than 28 weeks gestation from a number of disparate units in the Northern Region shows results that are interesting, but only from the point of hypothesis generation. Monitoring of oxygen saturation is simple but not without problems. 3 Setting aside whether preterm infants requiring additional oxyg...

the effectiveness of strategy-based instruction in teaching english as a second or foreign language: a meta-analysis of experimental studies
