| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Thirty six eyes of eighteen cases with retinopathy of prematurity( ROP ) were treated by intravitreal injection of ranibizumab( IVR ), and the result was compared with Thirty four eyes of seventeen cases treated by intravitreal injection of bevacizumab( IVR ). Between IVR group and IVB group, there was no statistically significant differences on post-conception weeks at birth, body weight at birth, gestational weeks at treatment, body weight at treatment and severity of ROP. On all of eyes treated, ROP regressed once, and reactivated. On IVR group, reactivation occurred earlier than IVB group( six vs. nine weeks: p<0.01). There was no significant differences on gestational weeks at additional treatment, incidence of additional treatment, final outcome. None of the eye of both group progressed to retinal detachment. No significant difference on incidence of systemic adverse event was observed. IVR is effective as IVB on the treatment of ROP.
