ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
Determine whether prenatal maternal characteristics such as sociodemographic characteristics, comorbidities, or pregnancy complications affect retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) development.METHODS:
Medical records of 236 mother-infant dyads from our institution were reviewed, only including dyads in which infants were born at 30 weeks gestational age or earlier. The primary outcome measure was the risk of ROP (defined Stage 1 or greater in either eye) and its association with prenatal maternal variables.RESULTS:
Maternal Medicaid insurance, smoking during pregnancy, and chorioamnionitis were associated with an increased risk of ROP. For Medicaid insurance and chorioamnionitis, these risks were not appreciably altered by adjustment for potential confounders.CONCLUSION:
These results suggest that several prenatal maternal factors may independently affect the risk of ROP in preterm infants. Validation of our findings could aid in the identification of infants at high risk for ROP based on prenatal clinical features.
