Abstract
The Postnatal Growth and ROP Studies (G-ROP-1&2) developed new ROP screening criteria with 100% sensitivity for type 1, and 30% fewer infants requiring examinations. However, the criteria are slightly less sensitive for type 2. Currently under conventional screening criteria, outlier infants are identified with a subjective criterion of neonatologist judgment of a “poor postnatal course.” We identified risk factors for developing stage 2 and 3 in infants who were older, larger, or had faster weight gain than the G-ROP criteria to help neonatologists identify these outlying infants.
