Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to determine how common Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) and other eye diseases are in late preterm infants at a hospital in Turkey and whether routine ROP screenings are necessary.
  • It included 600 late preterm infants from a neonatal intensive care unit, finding that 3.3% developed ROP and 4.8% had other eye issues, with a significant link between these conditions and lower birth weight and gestational age.
  • The researchers concluded that while the incidence of ROP in late preterm infants is low, routine screening is essential to identify and treat ROP and other ocular problems early, preventing serious vision loss.
