Background: Retinopathy of prematurity is a multifactorial vaso-proliferative retinal disorder that increases in incidence with gestational age. ROP is a vascular retinal disease that can cause low vision or blindness. ROP is a common blinding disease in children in the developed world despite current treatment and is becoming increasingly prevalent in the developing world. The purpose of this study was to determine risk factor and outcome of ROP among premature infants admitted to NICU of Shri B M Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre-Vijaypur.Methods: Preterm babies less than 35 weeks of gestation or less than 2000grams of birth weight delivered in or referred to Department of Paediatrics at B. L. D. E. U’s Shri B M Patil Medical College Hospital and Research Centre, Vijayapur.Results: Of 153 neonates screened 49 infants had ROP. The incidence of ROP in this study was found to be 32.02% among the babies screened. 25 babies were in stage 1(51.0%) 19 babies were in stage 2(38.8%) two babies from stage 2 progressed to plus disease and 5 babies with APROP (10.2%).Conclusions: The present study reflects the problem of ROP in a tertiary care centre. The incidence of ROP in our study was 32.02 % for any stage. The percentage of neonates who had ROP in the gestational age group ≤32 weeks 36.5%, 24.1%in the 32-36 weeks gestational age group and 40 % in >35 weeks of gestational age group. A statistically significant correlation between birth weight and ROP was also shown in our study. Our study showed greater risk of developing ROP with birth weights less than 1750g. There exists a statistically very high significant correlation between ROP and supplemental oxygen. Also, there is a statistically significant correlation between RDS and ROP.

AbstractLimited information is available regarding the functioning of DOTS (Directly Observed Treatment Short course) center for tuberculosis treatment under public private partnership with a medical college hospital. The present study was done to assess the various parameters related to the effectiveness of follow up treatment and its outcome in a DOTS center attached to a medical college hospital in coastal South India.Reports of patients with tuberculosis diagnosed and treated under Revised National Tuberculosis Control Programme at KS Hegde Medical College hospital DOTS center under Mangalore TB unit were reviewed retrospectively for the period from July 2004 to June 2011. Data was described in proportion and chi square test was applied to assess the association of cases with age group and sex. Among 60 patients serially registered under DOTS, 41 (68.33 %) cases were females and 19 (31.67%) cases were males. Maximum number of cases belonged to 15-29 years age group (20, 33.3%) and the difference observed between the categories of TB and age group was found to be significant (P<0.001). Overall 23 (38.33%), 12 (20%) and 25 (41.67%) cases received Cat-I, Cat-II and Cat-III treatment respectively. Success rate for new smear positive cases was 92.85% (13/14) and for Re-treatment smear positive cases was 88.89% (8/9). Sputum conversion rate among new smear positive cases (n= 14) at 2 months and 3 months was 85.71% and 92.86% respectively. Sputum conversion rate for Re-treatment cases (n=9) at 2 months and 3 months was 55.56% and 88.89% respectively. RNTCP is running successfully in this DOTS center with very low treatment failure rate and better outcome indicators, highlighting the importance of public private partnership of poorly functioning DOTS centers with medical colleges.
