本研究的目的是确定一组唐氏综合症儿童的眼部疾病的频率，这些儿童未被选择为眼部异常，并确定儿童眼科医生的检查是否应该成为标准做法。77名儿童被转诊到一家教学医院的唐氏综合症诊所，由一名儿童眼科医生进行了评估，其中61%患有眼科疾病，需要治疗和监测。此外，患有眼部疾病的儿童比例随着年龄的增长而增加，从2 - 12个月大组的38%增加到5 - 12岁组的80%。作者得出结论，患有唐氏综合症的儿童应该在出生后的前六个月接受儿科眼科医生的评估，此后每年一次。
The goal of this study was to determine the frequency of ophthalmic disorders in a group of young children with Down syndrome who were unselected for ophthalmic abnormalities, and to determine whether examination by a pediatric ophthalmologist should become standard practice. Of 77 children referred to a Down syndrome clinic at a teaching hospital and evaluated by a pediatric ophthalmologist, 61 per cent had ophthalmic disorders needing treatment and monitoring. Furthermore, the percentage of children with ophthalmic disorders increased with age, from 38 per cent in the two‐ to 12‐month‐old group to 80 per cent in the five‐ to 12‐year‐old group. The authors conclude that children with Down syndrome should be evaluated by a pediatric ophthalmologist in the first six months of life and annually thereafter.
