The incidence and risk factors associated with the retinopathy of prematurity in a tertiary hospital using 10-year retrospective data.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundThe study aimed to examine the incidence and risk factors associated with retinopathy of prematurity at Phramongkutklao Hospital.
methodsA retrospective review was conducted on the medical records of premature infants screened for retinopathy of prematurity between January 2011 and December 2021. The screening examination was performed on infants who met the screening criteria, and retinopathy of prematurity was diagnosed according to the International Classification of Retinopathy of Prematurity. Maternal, obstetric, neonatal, and medical data were retrieved. Logistic regression analysis was used to identify the risk factors associated with retinopathy of prematurity.
resultsA total of 403 premature infants were screened. The mean ± SD birth weight and gestational ages were 1,538 ± 543 grams and 31 ± 3 weeks, respectively. The incidence of any retinopathy of prematurity and stages 2 and 3 were 13.6%, 3.5%, and 10.1%, respectively. Multiple logistic regression analysis demonstrated that gestational age (adjusted odds ratio = 1.98, 95% CI:1.15-3.39), low birth weight (adjusted odds ratio = 0.99, 95% CI: 0.99-1.00), and phototherapy (adjusted odds ratio = 0.41, 95% CI: 0.17-1.00) were significant factors associated with the development of retinopathy of prematurity, after controlling for other confounding factors.
conclusionsThe incidence of total retinopathy of prematurity cases in this population was 13.6%. Overall, retinopathy of prematurity cases classified as stage 2 equated to 3.5% and stage 3 to 4.1%. Our data suggest that factors associated with retinopathy of prematurity consist of birth weight, gestational age, and phototherapy.
