Assessing the Surgical Experience to Identify Risk Factors Associated with Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity and Laser Intervention.

CONCLUSION: At our institution, preterm infants who undergo a surgical procedure prior to 32 weeks PMA and those having ≥3 surgeries were at a higher risk for progressing to laser intervention. Additional studies with larger sample sizes are needed to assess if the risk factors we have identified remain significant and to identify other possible risk factors.
