Abstract EN
To evaluate the results of the treatment of Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) patients in Qatar a retrospective analysis was made of 43 infants treated between January 1999 and December 2002 initially with indirect laser transpupillary photocoagulation.
Cryotherapy was used only on those needing re-treatment.
A favorable outcome overall was obtained in 40 cases (90 %) after ten received re-treatment.
The statistical interpretation, complicating factors and outcomes are discussed.
It is concluded that the results of threshold ROP treatment in Qatar are en-couraging.
