Speed of Retinal Vascularization in Retinopathy of Prematurity: Risk and Protective Factors.

The objective was to study the risk and protective factors involved in retinal vascular development of preterm infants with retinopathy of prematurity. Between 2000 and 2017, 185 preterm infants were included in the protocol for retinopathy of prematurity. Risk factors associated with speed of retinal vascularization The statistically significant variables related to retinal vascular development In retinopathy of prematurity, degree 3 of bronchopulmonary dysplasia and intubation days cause delayed retinal vascular development, whereas greater postnatal weight gain favors an appropriate rate of retinal vascularization
