Clinical and Growth Correlates of Retinopathy of Prematurity in Preterm infants with Surgical Necrotizing Enterocolitis and intestinal Perforation

Abstract Background: we sought to determine the clinical and growth parameters associated with retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) and spontaneous ileal perforation (SIP). Methods: Retrospective cohort study comparing clinical information before and following NEC/SIP onset in neonates with and without severe ROP (Type 1 and 2). Results: Those with severe ROP (32/109, 39.5%) had lower GA, BW, chorioamnionitis, later median onset of ROP diagnosis and received Penrose drain and had higher AKI, poor weight z scores, poor linear growth, longer duration of ventilation and higher FIo2 than those without ROP following NEC/SIP. The GA and diagnosis at later age remained significant for any ROP on multi regression modelling. Conclusion: The surgical NEC/SIP infants with severe ROP were more likely to be younger, smaller, had AKI, had higher oxygen exposure and poor weight gain and linear growth than those without severe ROP.
