摘要

In response to the article by Mintz-Hittner et al.: we note that bevacizumab (an anti-vascular endothelial growth factor [VEGF] agent) is already being used as first-line or rescue treatment for retinopathy of prematurity in many middle and emerging economies. In these settings, the population of babies with severe disease is very different from that in industrialized countries because more mature babies (gesta-tional age of >31 wk) are also often affected.1 This phenomenon has been termed the "third epidemic" of retinopathy of prematurity.2 Angio-genesis is still active in many organs of these babies at the time of treatment of retinopathy of prematurity, yet the potential risks of anti-VEGF agents may not be fully explained to parents, and access to medical legal redress is limited. It is imperative that the pharmacodynamics and safety profile of bevacizumab (or alternative agents) in the premature infant with acute retinopathy of prematurity and breakdown of the blood-ocular barrier be better delineated.3 Randomized clinical trials that are adequately powered to detect adverse events and that have sufficiently long follow-up to assess neurodevelopmental outcomes are urgently needed. Until that time we would advocate that anti-VEGF medications be used only when laser photocoagulation fails and when informed consent is rigorously obtained.
