Distribution of skip areas based on circumferential location.

Clock Hour Number of Skip Areas Percent of Eyes with Skip Areas
OS OD Overall
11 to 1 4 6 10 45%
1 to 3 0 1 1 5%
3 to 5 4 1 5 23%
5 to 7 4 5 9 41%
7 to 9 1 1 2 9%
9 to 11 2 1 3 14%

Indirect panretinal laser photocoagulation was initially performed by ophthalmologists-in-training in eyes with treatment-requiring ROP. Based on circumferential location, a significant difference in overall skip area distribution was found using Pearson's chi-square test (p=0.02).
