Single-Examination Risk Prediction of Severe Retinopathy of Prematurity

CONCLUSIONSUsing a single examination, this model identified all infants who developed TR-ROP, on average,>1 month before diagnosis with moderate to high specificity. This approach could lead to earlier identification of incident severe ROP, reducing late diagnosis and treatment while simultaneously reducing the number of ROP examinations and unnecessary physiologic stress for low-risk infants.
