| Popis: | BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVE: Retinopathy of Prematurity (ROP) is a vasoproliferative retinal disease in preterm infants that can lead to disorders and blindness throughout life if not diagnosed and treated at an early age. Therefore, this study was performed to investigate the relationship between retinopathy of prematurity and various maternal and neonatal diseases. METHODS: This case-control study was performed on 828 premature infants (303 infants with ROP and 525 infants without ROP as controls) born in Ayatollah Rouhani Hospital, Babol, Iran, in 2009-2019. All medical information about maternal and neonatal diseases was collected from patient files. Preliminary eye examinations and follow-up were performed based on the local ROP treatment and follow-up guide to diagnose the stage and zone of ROP. Then, neonates were compared based on retinopathy and lack of infection in both groups in terms of maternal and neonatal diseases including congenital heart defect, premature rupture of membranes, anemia, urinary tract infection, hypertension, sepsis, transient tachypnea of the newborn, respiratory distress syndrome, gestational diabetes and preeclampsia.
