Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the incidence, risk factors and severity of retinopathy of prematurity in neonatal intensive care unit and to evaluate its relationship with gestational age. METHODS: Cohort study of neonates with gestational age ≤ 32 weeks or birthweight ≤ 1500 g. RESULTS: Of the 495 neonates screened, 43 (8.7%) infants were small for gestational age; the frequency of severe retinopathy of prematurity was 5.8%. Sepsis and being small for gestational age were independent risk factors for severe retinopathy of prematurity. CONCLUSIONS: Clinicians should be aware of the presence of presence of retinopathy of prematurity when caring for protein small for gestational age infants.
