Evaluation of the frequency, risk factors and outcomes of ROP in preterm infants with a BW >1500 g or GA >32 weeks in Turkiye (TR-ROP 2) and medicolegal fears: a Turkish Neonatal Society multicentre study
ROP in mature infants is rare but can occur in the presence of multiple risk factors. Medicolegal concerns may contribute to overscreening. Developing evidence-based, risk-adapted screening guidelines is essential to ensure appropriate care without unnecessary interventions.
