Article Synopsis
- Preterm infants are at risk for neurodevelopmental issues, and this study explores the link between retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and visual motor integration (VMI) at preschool age.
- Conducted at the Medical University of Vienna, the study analyzed patients born under 30 weeks or weighing less than 1,500g, measuring VMI using the Beery-Buktenica Developmental Test at age 5.
- Results showed that preterm infants with stage 2 and 3 ROP had significantly lower VMI scores compared to those without ROP, indicating that ROP negatively affects essential motor skills.
