Impact of multiple births on retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants

Key Points

• Retinopathy of prematurity is significantly more common in preterm infants from multiple births, indicating that this group faces increased risks.
• Outcomes reveal a correlation where multiple births elevate the incidence of ocular development issues, particularly retinopathy.
• Observational analysis across multiple hospitals highlights the connection between multiple births and the risk for retinopathy of prematurity.
• This calls for increased screening and early interventions in preterm infants from multiple births to prevent serious vision complications.
