Association of Cardiovascular Disease with Retinopathy of Prematurity.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

To determine the associations of presence and types of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) with development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in premature infants undergoing ROP examinations.

Study design

We performed secondary analyses of data from the multi-center Postnatal Growth and ROP Validation Study (GROP-2). CVD was categorized based on pulmonary blood flow (PBF), systemic blood flow (SBF), pulmonary hypertension (PPHN), or dysrhythmia. Adjusted odds ratios (aOR) and 95% confidence intervals (95% CI) were calculated from multivariable logistic regression models that included any ROP or severe ROP as outcome variable and any CVD or type of CVD as independent variable, with adjustment of covariates including birth weight (BW), gestational age (GA), and days on su
