ABSTRACT
Of the 70,000 infants screened for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) each year in the United States, only 43% develop any ROP, and <10% develop treatment-requiring ROP. Investigators have tried to develop new methods for determining more specific screening criteria, including the Postnatal Growth and Retinopathy of Prematurity (G-ROP) and Colorado Retinopathy of Prematurity (CO-ROP), to reduce the number of infants being screened while maintaining a high degree of sensitivity. We evaluated the records of 138 premature infants who received treatment for ROP between 2010 and 2021 with respect to G-ROP (129 infants) and CO-ROP (102 infants) to test the sensitivity of each. Using the G-ROP criteria, 0.8% (1/129) of treated infants had type 1 ROP that would have been missed and 3.1% (4/129) of total infants treated were missed. These infants would not have been screened or received treatment if G-ROP guidelines were followed. Using the CO-ROP criteria, 2% (2/102) of treated infants had type 1 ROP that would have been missed and 4.9% (5/102) of total infants treated were missed. In our study cohort, both sets of criteria proved less sensitive than our current screening guidelines.
