Late-onset Circulatory Collapse and Continuous Positive Airway Pressure are Useful Predictors of Treatment-requiring Retinopathy of Prematurity: A 9-year Retrospective Analysis.

ABSTRACT: Visual loss caused by retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) will be prevented if treatment-requiring ROP (TR-ROP) can be predicted. In this retrospective study including 418 infants with ≤32 weeks of gestational age (GA) and/or ≤1500 grams of birthweight, we attempted to identify useful predictors. We also examined the efficiency of significant predictors compared with existing predictive models, ROPScore and CHOP model. Multivariable logistic regression analyses supported the following factors were useful for predicting TR-ROP from all infants and infants with any ROP: GA (odds ratio [OR], 0.47 and 0.48), history of late-onset circulatory collapse (LCC) (OR, 2.76 and 2.44) and use of continuous positive airway pressure (CPAP) at 35 weeks of postmenstrual age (OR, 3.78 and 4.50).
