  • This study aimed to assess the rates of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and its treatment, along with identifying systemic risk factors in extremely preterm or low-birth-weight infants in a tier-2 city in Kerala, India.
  • Analysis included 54 babies with an average gestational age of 27.5 weeks and birth weight of 847 g; ROP was detected in 87%, with 19.1% requiring treatment, which was mostly managed through laser or injection therapies.
  • Findings indicate that the incidence and outcomes of ROP and treatment align with global statistics, highlighting improvements in neonatal care, while conditions like inotropic support and anemia could increase ROP risk and

Objectives: Combined Apgar score includes utilization of interventions such as ontinuous positive airway pressure, xygen, ask and Bag ventilation ntubation and ventilation onatal chest compression, rugs, and newborn assessment. It has been proposed as a substitute for conventional Apgar score which is the gold standard for evaluating newborns right after birth but is impacted by medical interventions and preterm. Combined Apgar scores were examined to check for correlation with CTG tracing and umbilical cord blood parameters which gives an objective assessment of fetal hypoxia, in response to the demand for a more accurate tool for evaluating the neonate and to be used for medico-legal purposes.
