- Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a significant cause of preventable blindness in premature infants, prompting a study in Tabuk City, Saudi Arabia to evaluate its prevalence and risk factors.* -
- The study analyzed records of 108 premature infants from King Khalid Hospital, revealing that 33.3% had ROP, particularly among those with low birth weight, which was identified as a significant risk factor.* -
- With many ROP cases being sight-threatening and affecting both eyes, the study suggests that treatment resources should be available in Tabuk City to address the needs of low-birth-weight infants without necessitating transfers to other centers.*
