Retinopathy of Prematurity in the Kyrgyz Republic: Prevalence, Stages and Treatment Methods in a Tertiary Center
Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) remains the leading cause of childhood blindness. Its global prevalence is 31.9%, and the prevalence of severe ROP is 7.5% among preterm infants. In Kyrgyzstan, about 8,000 or 5 to 10% of premature babies are born prematurely each year. Studying the frequency, risk factors, and types of therapy is important for improving the results of early detection and treatment of ROP.
