Clinical Observations

To the Editor.— The letter to the editor by Johnson et al1 and studies by others regarding vitamin E prophylaxis for retinopathy of prematurity suggest that further research into the prevention of retinopathy of prematurity should not be limited to vitamin E. On the basis of clinical observations we reported that d-penicillamine treatment in the neonatal period was associated with a marked decrease in the incidence of severe retrolental fibroplasia among the very low birth weight infants.2

Over Time

The authors reviewed the medical records of very low-birth-weight infants admitted from 1998 to 2007 and compared neurodevelopmental outcomes with their previously reported data from 1989 to 1997. The recent group included 824 infants, and the previous group included 471 infants. Neurodevelopmental outcomes were classified into cerebral palsy and non–cerebral palsy neurodevelopmental impairment. In the recent group, the survival rate was significantly higher (79.4% vs 66.2%), the rate of cerebral palsy was lower (7.9% vs 10.5%), and the rate of non–cerebral palsy neurodevelopmental impairment was higher (6.0% vs 4.5%) but not significant. The survival rate increased significantly over time, but there was no significant change in neurodevelopmental outcomes over time. Multivariate analysis indicated that abnormal neurosonographic findings, using assisted ventilation, vaginal delivery, and abnormal brainstem auditory evoked potential, were associated with increased risk for cerebral palsy.
