“Refractive Error Type In Preterm Infants With And Without ROP”

Abstract

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a devastating eye disorder that occurs in premature infants due to abnormal retinal vascularization. ROP's consequences go beyond the immediate risk of retinal detachment; in severe situations, it can cause a kid to suffer with visual issues for the rest of their life. It can also make it difficult for a toddler to focus and see well at different distances. A refractive defect is an imperfection in the eye's normal shape that causes vision to blur. Refractive errors are one of the most common types of vision problems. The goal of this research is to see if there is a link between refractive morbidity and preterm delivery, retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), or both. The research used an observational retrospective design. Data will be collected from babies who match the inclusion criteria born between July 2018 and July 2023. SPSSsoftware will be used to conduct statistical investigations. To summarize the data, we shall employ descriptive statistics. Comparative statistics will be used to assess the relationships between variables. A 95% confidence interval will be utilized for all statistical investigations. A p-value of less than 0.05 is regarded as statistically significant.
