Screening for ROP
نویسندگان
چکیده
Several countries have national guidelines indicating which babies should be screened. These usually include a combination of birth weight (BW) and gestational age (GA). Some countries, such as the United States of America, include additional 'sickness criteria' alongside BW and GA. In neonatal units providing very high quality care, only the most preterm babies are at risk of developing ROP and therefore need to be screened.
