Severe ROP rate and assessment of the burden of ROP screening at a single tertiary care public hospital in Pakistan
Effective screening is achievable in public hospitals using existing resources, especially with committed staff. The < 35 weeks GA protocol is essential, and outpatient care must be integrated into program planning. Limitations include single-site data and lack of retinal imaging, but all examinations were conducted by experienced ophthalmologists.
