WITH RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY
AMONG PATIENTS IN EAST AVENUE
MEDICAL CENTER FROM 2010 TO 2015

Objectives: This study aims to determine the maternal risk factors associated
with the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Design: A retrospective cohort study.
Setting: The study was done in a tertiary government hospital.
Patients: This study included admitted premature neonates in neonatal inten-
sive care unit (NICU) who underwent ROP screening. All patients with con-
genital abnormality of the eyes were excluded in the study.
Methodology: List of admitted premature patients who underwent ROP
screening was collected within the study period. Demographic data was col-
lected from the patient’s medical records.
Statistical Analysis: Descriptive statistics were presented for categorical out-
come measures. Wilcoxon rank sum test was used to compare two averages.
Chi-square test, Yates’ chi-square test and Fisher’s exact test were used to
compare proportions. Univariate and multivariate regression analyses were
used to estimate crude and adjusted odds-ratios, corresponding 95% CI and
based on p-value ≤ 0.05 statistical significance.
Result: This study showed 57% cases of ROP, majority with Stage 1 (66%),
mostly female infants (53.4%; p<0.001), mildly asphyxiated (51.2%, p=0.290;
77.2%, p=0.117) and were small for gestational age (57.3%; p<0.001). On the
average, these infants underwent 1 day of either invasive or non-invasive me-
chanical ventilation, 2 days with FiO2 of >0.5 liters per minute, had two blood
transfusions, and with shorter hospital stay (17 vs 26 days; p<0.001). The
average age of mothers who delivered infants with ROP was 26 years old,
multipara (59.2%), and underwent normal spontaneous delivery (67%). About
half reported adequate prenatal check-ups (53.8%), and diagnosed with uri-
nary tract infection (40.1%).
Conclusion: Data showed that mothers with urinary tract infection and pre-
eclampsia are more likely to deliver infants with retinopathy of prematurity
thus significant maternal risk factors of ROP.
