Severity of retinopathy of prematurity was associated with a higher risk of cerebral dysfunction in young adults born extremely preterm

Acta Pediatrica Jul 10, 2020

Jacobson L, Vollmer B, Kistner A, et al. - Researchers conducted this Swedish study to ascertain if the severity of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely preterm infants was correlated with their overall outcome in young adulthood. At less than 28 gestational weeks, they followed 39 individuals born in 1988‐93, included in the Stockholm Neonatal Project. Nineteen were treated for severe ROP and 20 had no or mild ROP. According to findings, young adults treated for severe ROP reported more cerebral dysfunction issues than those with no or mild ROP and term‐born controls. Retinal and brain pathologies are different expressions of neuro‐vascular disease in the extremely preterm infant.
