Severity of Neonatal Retinopathy of Prematurity Is Predictive of Neurodevelopmental Functional Outcome at Age 5.5 Years

Abstract

Severity of neonatal ROP seems to be a marker for functional disability at age 5. 5 years among very low birth weight survivors. High rates of functional limitations in multiple domains occur in children who had threshold ROP, particularly if they have unfavorable visual acuity.
