Abstract
Background: The study was conducted to assess the retinopathy of prematurity in pre mature infants and see the progression of the disease. Aims and Objectives: To study the progression and the risk factors for Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) in infants. Material and Methods: Prospective Observational Study from October 2020 to December 2022 done on 96 infants which was conducted in a tertiary care centre in NICU set up with the criteria: birth weight <1700g, gestational age at birth of <34-35 weeks, oxygen exposure of >30 days and infants with birth weight >1700g and gestational age >37 weeks with associated risk factors were assessed. Result: Of 96 patients 24(25% incidence) found to be ROP positive with 13 requiring treatment had severe ROP. Average birth weight of ROP babies was 1491.45g and average gestational age was 31.41±2.82 weeks. 8/24 newborns had avascular retina later progressed to ROP. Conclusion: Early assessment and detection of ROP is necessary to prevent further progression of disease. Keywords: Retinopathy of prematurity, assessment, Progression, Risk factors.
