Abstract

Purpose: To study the incidence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Methods: A prospective observational study of premature babies admitted in NICU with a gestational age of 32 weeks or less at birth and a birth weight of 1500 g or less was made. Sick infants were included even if they were older and heavier. ROP screening was done in 200 cases from the fourth postnatal week and was followed up.
Results: The incidence of ROP was 19.5%. Most common maternal risk factor was pregnancy induced hypertension (17.9%). Low birth weight (LBW) and respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) (89.7%) were the most common risk factors in infants.
Conclusion: In our study the most common risk factors were LBW and RDS.
