Abstract
The study is to determine the association between known neonatal risk factors for retinopathy of prematurity and the stages of retinopathy of prematurity. Retrospective study (case control) of preterm infants was done using an in hospital registry. Preterm infants born at greater and equal 32 weeks AOG and were screened for ROP during admission. The study concluded that the prematurity, exchange transfusion, and prolonged use of oxygen and intubation for 6 days showed significant association to the occurrence of ROP. On the other hand, in terms of association of neonatal factors with the different stages of ROP, only TPN duration shows significant relation.
