Abstract:

Objective To explore the prevalence and risk factors of retinopathy of prematurity(ROP) in very low birth weight infants. Method A retrospective analysis was conducted on 242 extremely low birth weight infants admitted to Hunan Children's Hospital from January 2021 to March 2024. They were divided into ROP group(71 cases) and non?ROP group(171 cases) based on whether ROP occurred. Single factor analysis was conducted based on patient general information questionnaire, maternal perinatal status, and related diseases of premature infants, and single factors with statistical significance were selected for Logistic regression analysis. Result The detection rate of ROP in 242 children was 29.34% (71/242). Univariate analysis showed that there were significant differences in maternal hypertension and diabetes mellitus, vaginal delivery, multiple births, in vitro fertilization, birth weight, intrauterine infection, mechanical ventilation, oxygen inhalation time >5 days and blood transfusion treatment between the two groups (P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that maternal diabetes mellitus, intrauterine infection, blood transfusion therapy, and oxygen inhalation time >5 days during pregnancy were independent risk factors for the development of ROP. Conclusion The detection rate of ROP in very low birth weight infants is high, and maternal diabetes mellitus, intrauterine infection, blood transfusion therapy, and oxygen inhalation time >5 days during pregnancy are independent risk factors for ROP in very low birth weight infants. Regular fundus screening and prompt treatment are essential to preventing vision loss and even blindness caused by ROP.
