Transcutaneous oxygen levels in retinopathy of prematurity

Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding disease of preterm infants. 21 days of computer-recorded transcutaneous oxygen (TcPO 2) data were compared in 31 infants with stage 3 or greater ROP and 38 infants with no ROP or stage 1 or 2. In a multiple logistic regression adjusted for s...

Description
Summary:Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a potentially blinding disease of preterm infants. 21 days of computer-recorded transcutaneous oxygen (TcPO 2) data were compared in 31 infants with stage 3 or greater ROP and 38 infants with no ROP or stage 1 or 2. In a multiple logistic regression adjusted for significant perinatal factors (birthweight, gestation, and intraventricular haemorrhage), babies with stage 3 or higher ROP showed an increased variability of TcPO 2 in week 1 (p
