    Introduction: Our aim was to investigate the pattern of open globe injury and assess the effect of age on different parameters of open globe injury in pediatric patients.Materials and Methods: The medical records of the patients under 18 years old who had open-globe injury were retrospectively reviewed. Age, gender, the cause of the trauma, presence of intraocular foreign body and the extent of the ocular damage were recorded.Results: The study was comprised of 79 patients (23 female, 56 male) with a mean age of 7.7+/-4.4 (range: 2-18 years). Thirty-nine patients were injured with a blunt tip object, 27 with a sharp object and one has rupture with trauma. Thirty-five injuries occurred outside and 45 at home. The season in which most of the injuries took place was summer (32%). Seventy-five percent of the injuries were noted in 11 years and under. The mean age subject to blunt tip object injury, organic body injury and outdoor injury was significantly higher compared to that of with sharp object, inorganic body injury and indoor injury.Conclusions: The open globe-injury rates in Northwest Turkey is found to be higher in smaller age groups. Making the parents aware of the danger and consequences of the trauma and avoiding the easily accessible sharp objects may decrease the trauma rates.

    The role of serial measurements of serum insulin-like growth factor 1 levels in the development of retinopathy of prematurity
    (Turkish Pediatrics Assoc, 2017-03-01) ÖZKAN, HİLAL; Dorum, Bayram Ali; Yılmaz, Cansu Canbolat; Köksal, Nilgün; YILDIZ, MERAL; Yıldız, Meral; Özmen, Ahmet Tuncer; ÖZMEN, AHMET TUNCER; Bursa Uludağ Üniversitesi/Tıp Fakültesi/Çocuk Sağlığı ve Hastalıkları Anabilim Dalı.; 0000-0002-2823-8454; AAH-1885-2021; AAG-8393-2021; A-5375-2017
    Aim: To determine the role of serum insulin-like growth factor-1 levels in the development of retinopathy of prematurity, which is a major cause of childhood blindness worldwide.Material and Methods: We prospectively studied newborn infants born at a postmenstrual age of < 32 weeks and birth weights < 1 500 gr, between January 1st, 2015, and December 31st, 2015. A total of 40 infants were enrolled in the study. The retinal examination time was determined in accordance with the American Academy of Pediatrics recommendations for retinopathy of prematurity screening and follow-up. Retinopathy of prematurity was classified according to the international classification of retinopathy of prematurity. Serum Insulin like growth factor 1 levels were measured serially in blood samples on the 1st, 3rd, 7th, 21st, and 28th day.Results: Among the 40 infants, 11 (27.5%) constituted the retinopathy of prematurity group and 29 comprised the non-retinopathy of prematurity group. In the retinopathy of prematurity group, the mean gestational age and birth weight was significantly lower. The demographic features of the study cohort were similar. The duration of mechanical ventilation was significantly greater in the retinopathy of prematurity group compared with the non-retinopathy of prematurity group (p=0.036). In terms of neonatal morbidities such as respiratory distress syndrome, intraventricular hemorrhage, bronchopulmonary dysplasia, patent ductus arteriosus, and necrotizing enterocolitis, no differences were detected between the groups. The mean serum insulin-like growth factor-1 levels in retinopathy of prematurity group were significantly lower than those in the non-retinopathy of prematurity group at each time point (1st, 3rd, 7th, 21st, and 28th day of postnatal life) (p=0.001).Conclusions: This study demonstrated the low serum insulin-like growth factor-1 levels was associated with retinopathy of prematurity development.
