There is no standard screening system in Egypt. Furthermore, we had screened babies more than 1500 g, more than 32 weeks and found signs of ROP, so we decided to expand our inclusion criteria to include babies up to 2000 g of birth weight and up to 34 weeks gestational age in addition to older and heavier babies with unstable course in NICUs. Clinical information about perinatal neonates was collected by reviewing medical charts. The main outcomes are the incidence and severity of ROP. The relationship of clinical risk factors and the development of ROP were analyzed.Results: The overall incidence of ROP was 34.1%, and the overall incidence of type 1 ROP was 26.3% of infants. ROP was significantly associated with GA (odds ratio; OR: 6.8; (3.7– 12.3), BW (OR: 4.1; 2.3– 7.3), apnea, supplementary oxygen administration, and thrombocytopenia.Conclusion: The incidence of ROP is high in Itay Elbaroud city, Behera Province, Egypt. Immaturity, low birth weight, low gestational age, oxygen administration, apnea, thrombocytopenia, and jaundice are important risk factors for development of ROP.Keywords: birth weight, gestational age, incidence, retinopathy of prematurityGaber RSorour OASharaf AFSaad HADove Medical Pressarticlebirth weightgestational ageincidenceretinopathy of prematurityOphthalmologyRE1-994ENClinical Ophthalmology, Vol Volume 15, Pp 3467-3471 (2021)
