Comparison of Weight-Gain-Based Prediction Models for Retinopathy of Prematurity in an Australian Population

CONCLUSIONS: CHOPROP, CO-ROP, and G-ROP performed well in this Australian population. CHOPROP, CO-ROP, and G-ROP would reduce the number of infants requiring examinations by 43.9%, 30.5%, and 26.9%, respectively, compared to current ROP screening guidelines. Weight-gain-based algorithms would be a useful adjunct to the current ROP screening.PMID:37670799 | PMC:PMC10477029 | DOI:10.1155/2023/8406287
