Implication

Descriptive study identifies risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants from a NICU.

Key Points

  • ROP was observed in 16.6% of 454 premature infants, indicating a significant health concern.
  • Gestational age and low birth weight were found to be key risk factors significantly associated with ROP development.
  • The study utilized multivariate logistic regression analysis, showing an accuracy rate of 85.9% for identifying risk factors.
  • Findings suggest that the incidence of ROP may be lower compared to similar studies in Turkey, highlighting potential differences in infant care.
