Aims: To evaluate incidence of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and validity of current ROP screening criteria adopted in the Armed Forces Hospitals.
Methods: A retrospective study of ROP indices was carried out in infants admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit in Khamis Mushait, Saudi Arabia, from January 2009 to December 2011. All infants who had birth weight (BW) of 1500 g or less and/or gestational age (GA) of 32 weeks or less had their data reviewed for ROP diagnosis and related indices.
