Article Synopsis
- Conducted a systematic review and Bayesian model-averaged meta-analysis to investigate the link between platelet counts and severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
- Analyzed data from 21 studies, finding a strong association between low platelet counts and severe ROP, especially during the second phase around ROP treatment.
- Thrombocytopenia was notably linked to severe ROP, though the strength of evidence was reduced after adjusting for potential publication bias.
Background: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is generally considered to be more frequent in males than in females. However, it is not known whether sex differences in ROP affect all degrees of the condition, are global and have changed as neonatology has developed. We aimed to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis of studies addressing sex differences in the risk of developing ROP.
