Incidence and Prevalence of Retinopathy of Prematurity in a Tertiary Care Centre of North India.

The goal of the current study was to shed light on the previous research on retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) among infants born before 34 weeks of gestation or those with birth weights (BW) under 2000 g and gestational ages between 34 and 36 weeks, with emphasis on prevalence and incidence. A prospective hospital based observational study was conducted on 160 neonates after ethical clearance within a period of four months. The study population comprised neonates less than 34 week of gestational age and those with BW less than 2000 gm and gestational age between 34-36 weeks.
