Background: A correlation coefficient is a measure of a relationship between any two
quantitative and categorical variables. The coefficient describes the degree of relationship …

Early development of the fovea has been documented by histological studies over the past
few decades. However, structural distortion due to sample processing and the paucity of …

Purpose: This study analyses whether prematurity, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), and
associated factors lead to altered foveal shape in adulthood and whether these alterations …

Purpose: Children with a history of prematurity often have poorly developed foveae but
when during development foveal differences arise. We hypothesize that the course of foveal …

Recent findings indicate that retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), presently classified by clinical
examinations of retinal vascular tissue, is associated with structural alterations of the central …

Importance Children born preterm (< 37 weeks' gestation) have a higher risk of visual
impairment and ocular morbidities compared peers born at full term. However, the long-term …

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the main blinding diseases affecting preterm
newborns and is classically considered a vascular disorder. The premature exposure to the …

Purpose: To investigate dynamic foveal morphology with postmenstrual age, in preterm
infants with and without retinopathy of prematurity using hand-held optical coherence …

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to describe the normative values, distribution
patterns, and correlated factors of macular ganglion cell-inner plexiform layer (GCIPL) …

Purpose: Low birth weight (BW) is associated with alterations of foveal shape development
in childhood—leading to an increased retinal thickness of the fovea. The aim of the present …
