Retinopathy of Prematurity in Very Low Birthweight Neonates of Gestation Less Than 32  weeks in Malaysia

ConclusionsThe incidence and severity of ROP increased with decreasing gestation and birthweight. Prolonged duration of oxygen therapy, infection, invasive respiratory support, and conditions commonly causing fluctuations of oxygenation were significant factors associated with increased risk of ROP. Receiving oxygen at birth did not increase risk.
