Global and Regional Trends in Retinopathy of Prematurity
This cross-sectional study found that persistent disparities in ROP-related visual loss burden remain between socioeconomic contexts and SDI groups, especially in terms of ROP-related blindness. Addressing socioeconomic disparities, enhancing neonatal care access, and implementing universal ROP screening and follow up programs might reduce the magnitude of the burden of future ROP-related visual loss.
