Oxygen care and treatment of retinopathy of prematurity in ocular and neurological prognosis.

ABSTRACT: This retrospective cohort study aimed to investigate the effects of neonatal oxygen care and retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) treatment on ROP-related ocular and neurological prognoses. We included premature infants treated for ROP at a tertiary referral center between January 2006 and December 2019. Demographic and clinical data were collected from electronic medical records. Odds ratios (ORs) of oxygen care- and ROP treatment-related factors were calculated for ocular and neurological comorbidities 3 years after ROP treatment, after adjusting for potential confounders. ROP requiring treatment was detected in 171 eyes (88 infants). Laser treatment for ROP (OR = 4.73, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.64-13.63) and duration of invasive ventilation (OR = 1.02, 95% CI 1.00-1.03) were associated
