R.-R.O.P. Study
    Background To evaluate the prevalence, risk factors and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in Turkey and to establish screening criteria for this condition. Methods A prospective cohort study (TR-ROP) was performed between 1 April 2016 and 30 April 2017 in 69 neonatal intensive care units (NICUs). Infants with a birth weight (BW)=1500 g or gestational age (GA)<= 32 weeks and those with a BW> 1500 g or GA> 32 weeks with an unstable clinical course were included in the study. Predictors for the development of ROP were determined by logistic regression analyses. Results The TR-ROP study included 6115 infants: 4964 (81\%) with a GA <= 32 weeks and 1151 (19\%) with a GA>32 weeks. Overall, 27\% had any stage of ROP and 6.7\% had severe ROP. A lower BW, smaller GA, total days on oxygen, late-onset sepsis, frequency of red blood cell transfusions and relative weight gain were identified as independent risk factors for severe ROP in infants with a BW=1500 g. Of all infants, 414 needed treatment and 395 (95.4\%) of the treated infants had a BW <= 1500 g. Sixty-six (16\%) of the treated infants did not fulfil the Early Treatment for Retinopathy of Prematurity requirements for treatment. Conclusions Screening of infants with a GA <= 34 weeks or a BW<1700 g appears to be appropriate in Turkey. Monitoring standards of neonatal care and conducting quality improvement projects across the country are recommended to improve neonatal outcomes in Turkish NICUs.

    Causes and characteristics of work-related eye injuries in western Turkey
    (WOLTERS KLUWER MEDKNOW PUBLICATIONS, 2013-01-01) Serinken, Mustafa; Turkcuer, Ibrahim; Cetin, Ebru Nevin; Yilmaz, Atakan; Elicabuk, Hayri; Karcioglu, Ozgur
    Objectives: To analyze descriptive data and characteristics of work-related eye injuries (WREI) admitted into the emergency department (ED) and obtain information to utilize in planning measures to prevent WREI. Materials and Methods: This prospective study recruited patients with WREI admitted to the center in the two-year study period. Only the casualties occurred at the workplace and while working constituted the sample. The data were collected via face-to-face contact in the ED. Results: Males comprised the majority of the sample (95.3\%, n = 778) and mean age of the patients was 28.1 +/- 6.5 (range: 15-54) with the biggest percentage in between 25 and 34 years of age (46.2\%, n = 377). Most patients were working in the metal and machinery sectors (66.4\%, n = 542). Nearly half of the patients had less than 1 year of experience (50.4\%, n = 411). The most common mechanism of WREI was noted to be exposures to welding light (26.9\%, n = 219), followed by drilling/cutting injuries (21.1\%, n = 172). ``Carelessness{''} and ``hurrying up{''} were the most commonly reported causes of WREIs among `worker-related causes' (21.4\% and 16.1\%, respectively). Lack of protective measures ranked the highest among workplace-related causes (18.7\%, n = 207). Conclusions: Programs to increase awareness on workplace safety and sound preventive strategies for both parties-employers and employees are to be pursued. Occupational safety efforts should include training on workplace eye safety and campaigns to raise knowledgeability on this disease among workers.
