[Comparison of O2-exposed premature infants with and without vitamin E substitution from the ophthalmologic viewpoint].
The present paper deals with the efficiency of vitamin E in the prevention of progress of ROP. 80 premature infants with oxygen therapy and vitamin E all from the year 1986 are compared with 80 premature infants with oxygen therapy without vitamin E from the years 1984 and 1985. The group with protection by vitamin E shows a smaller rate of the higher stages of ROP. The stages II-V could be prevented in the studied group. The two groups of infants are too inhomogenous for an exact statistical analysis because some other factors are meaningful.
