Article Synopsis
- The study looked at how common and serious retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is in babies born between 32 to 36 weeks.
- Out of over 4,100 preterm babies, 35.2% had any form of ROP, and 2.5% needed treatment for the severe kind.
- The research found that factors like how long the babies stayed in the hospital, their birth weight, and how early they were born were important in whether they developed ROP.
Background: This study aims to investigate the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) in familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) and the relationship between serum uric acid (SUA) concentrations and MetS status by sex in patients with FMF.
Methods: This cross-sectional study included all attack-free patients previously diagnosed with FMF who referred to the rheumatology clinic for follow-up between October 2018 and January 2019. This study included 154 patients with FMF (66 males and 88 females) and 154 controls (62 males and 92 females) with similar age and sex.
