The newborns were screened as per National Neonatology Forum of India guidelines. ROP was classified according to the International Classification for Retinopathy of Prematurity criteria.Results: A total of 167 neonates were screened with an incidence of ROP of 26.9%. The mean gestational age (GA) and mean birth weight (BW) were 31.89 ± 2.824 weeks and 1538.11 ± 530.84 gm. The mean BW of neonates having any ROP was significantly lower (1296.98gm, p < 0.001), and the mean GA was also significantly lower in ROP babies (30.67 weeks, p < 0.001). O2 supplementation, RDS, IVH, and NEC were the systemic risk factors that significantly correlated with ROP p-value < 0.001. On analysis of the correlation of stage of ROP with BW and GA, a significant correlation of − 0.307 (p < 0.001) and − 0.283 (p < 0.001) was found.Conclusion: The incidence of ROP in this study is similar to that reported in the literature from other regions. Other than LBW and GA, oxygen supplementation, RDS, IVH, and NEC were significant risk factors associated with ROP.Keywords: retinal neovascularization, screening, risk factors of ROP, patterns of ROP |
