Management of retinopathy of prematurity in a tertiary referral neonatal intensive care unit: Treatment rates and the impact of outsourcing laser therapy

Outsourcing ROP treatment might have led to improved primary treatment success; however, possible disadvantages include treatment delays and over-treatment.
