Predicting the risk of treatment‐requiring retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants in Greece. External validation of <scp>DIGIROP</scp> prognostic models
The DIGIROP-v1.0 models resulted in lower sensitivity and higher specificity in this Greek cohort compared with the Swedish development group. Despite higher GA and BW, infants in our cohort had higher incidence of treated ROP than in Sweden, resulting in an under-estimation of their risk for treatment-requiring ROP. Further validation of the DIGIROP-v2.0 models and potential adjusting are recommended to maximize generalizability in populations with different characteristics.
