Cross-sectional study shows 15.3% incidence of ROP in preterm infants, indicating vital screening is necessary.

Retinopathy of prematurity occurs in 15.3% of infants under 34 weeks gestation, highlighting its prevalence in this at-risk group.
Significant associations with ROP include gestational age under 30 weeks (p=0.002) and birth weight below 1500 grams (p=0.01).
Cross-sectional analysis involved 124 neonates, documenting clinical data including oxygen therapy and birth metrics for risk assessment.
Findings suggest stricter screening and controlled oxygen use are essential to reduce preventable visual impairment in preterm infants.

Zahid et al. (2025) studied this question.
