Prospective study examines ROP incidence in newborns, highlighting significant risk factors for practitioners.

Key Points

  • To investigate the incidence and contributing factors of retinopathy of prematurity in newborns.
  • Conducted a prospective study in a neonatology unit.
  • Studied 75 newborns with gestational ages between 27 and 40 weeks.
  • Monitored by an ophthalmologist until retinae matured or ROP developed.
  • Found an incidence of 32% for ROP.
  • Identified low gestational age, low birth weight, and high oxygen therapy as significant risk factors.
  • Other factors like sex, duration of oxygen therapy, and phototherapy were deemed insignificant.
