Overview

Retrospective study identifies risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity in premature infants, suggesting preventive measures are important.

Key Points

  • To identify postnatal factors influencing the risk and course of retinopathy of prematurity in premature infants.
  • Retrospective review of medical records of premature infants admitted in NICU over 2 years.
  • Data analyzed using Medcalc statistical software version 15.8 for test statistics.
  • Out of 50 infants screened for ROP, 16 (32%) had ROP findings.
  • Significant risks for ROP included apnea (p=0.008), RDS (p=0.029), blood transfusion (p=0.015), and mechanical ventilator use (p=0.019).
  • Oxygen support was also a factor (p=0.058), while other variables were not significant.
