Article Synopsis
- A study analyzed how different factors affected children's and caregivers' experiences during the COVID-19 pandemic using data from a large, diverse group of participants across the US and Puerto Rico.
- The research looked at variables like caregiver education level, child age, and whether families lived in urban or rural areas, examining outcomes related to COVID-19 infections, school and healthcare disruptions, financial struggles, and remote work.
- Results showed that caregivers with less education faced more difficulties with accessing tests, lower chances of working remotely, and greater food access issues compared to those with higher education levels.
Purpose: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a leading cause of childhood blindness related to oxygen exposure in premature infants. Since oxygen monitoring protocols have reduced the incidence of treatment-requiring ROP (TR-ROP), it remains unclear whether oxygen exposure remains a relevant risk factor for incident TR-ROP and aggressive ROP (A-ROP), a severe, rapidly progressing form of ROP. The purpose of this proof-of-concept study was to use electronic health record (EHR) data to evaluate early oxygen exposure as a predictive variable for developing TR-ROP and A-ROP.
