Dr. G. Balaji, Dr. S. Abirami

Abstract :

 This study aims to correlate the incidence and progression of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) in premature infants with anemia.

Materials and Methods: All high–risk infants from our hospital and neighboring districts were screened at Special newborn care
unit every Tuesday on regular basis, and this study includes infants screened at NICU during January 2018 – March 2018.
Conclusion: In our study at, high–risk premature infants who were screened showed a significant prevalence of ROP in babies
weighing <2.000 kg and with female preponderance. The role of anemia and other neonatal risk factors needs to be evaluated
further in our ongoing study.
