Diagnosis and Risk Factors in Retinopathy of Prematurity: A Five-Year Single-Center Descriptive Study
Small GA and low BW are the main risk factors for the development of ROP. The incidence of ROP was found to be lower than similar studies conducted in our country. While severe ROP cases have been reported in more mature infants in Turkey, our study found no treatment-requiring ROP cases, likely reflecting the higher mean GA and BW characteristics of our cohort.
