Prediction of Retinopathy of Prematurity Using the Screening Algorithm WINROP in a Mexican Population of Preterm Infants

Abstract

In this Mexican population of preterm infants, WINROP detected type 1 ROP early in 84.7% of very preterm infants and correctly identified 26.6% of infants who did not develop type 1 ROP. Uncertainties in dating of pregnancies and differences in postnatal conditions may be factors explaining the different outcomes of WINROP in this population.
