Article Synopsis
- Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a major cause of childhood blindness, affecting 31.9% of premature infants, with 7.5% having severe cases; identifying risk factors is crucial for better detection and treatment.
- A study at the Medical University of Vienna analyzed 352 premature infants (GA ≤ 32 weeks, BW ≤ 1500 g), finding that 40.9% had ROP, with significant risk factors being lower gestational age (GA) and birth weight (BW).
- The most common treatment was laser therapy, leading to initial regression in 82.4% of treated infants; the research emphasizes the importance of GA and BW in early detection and treatment decision-making for ROP
