20.500.12556/RUL-167660 Validation of the Postnatal Growth and Retinopathy of Prematurity (G-ROP) criteria in a Slovenian cohort Purpose To validate the Postnatal Growth and ROP (G-ROP) study criteria for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening in a Slovenian cohort. Methods We conducted a retrospective cohort study of preterm infants screened in 2021 at the University Medical Centre Ljubljana, Slovenia. The G-ROP criteria were systematically applied. Primary outcomes were sensitivity for ROP requiring treatment, sensitivity for any ROP, and reduction in the number of infants screened. Results Of 102 infants screened, 27 (26.4%) developed ROP. Eleven infants (10.7%) had type 1 ROP, of whom 2 (1.9%) had aggressive ROP; 5 infants (4.9%) had type 2 ROP, and 11 (10.7%) had milder ROP. Using the original or simplified G-ROP criteria, all infants who developed type 1 ROP (sensitivity, 100% [95% CI, 74%-100%]), and all infants who developed ROP (sensitivity, 100% [95% CI, 88%-100%]) were correctly identified. Application of the original G-ROP criteria would have reduced the number of infants screened by 29.4% (30 of 102). Conclusions In our cohort, both the original and simplified G-ROP criteria showed 100% sensitivity for predicting ROP type 1 while reducing the number of unnecessary screenings. These results confirm the reliability of the G-ROP criteria in the Slovenian context and suggest that their use improves screening efficiency. prematurity postnatal growth retinopathy Slovenia cohort study nedonošenost postnatalna rast retinopatija Slovenija kohortna študija true false true Angleški jezik Slovenski jezik Članek v reviji 2025-03-05 13:25:18 2025-03-05 13:25:22 2025-03-06 04:01:05 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 6 str. no. 1, art. 104113 Vol. 29 2025 0000-00-00 Zaloznikova Objavljeno NiDoloceno 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 0000-00-00 618.2/.7 1091-8531 10.1016/j.jaapos.2025.104113 227478787 1-s2.0-S1091853125000114-main.pdf 1-s2.0-S1091853125000114-main.pdf 1 D3693D6E200D28D4C06AD054410FF5EA 8441292c719a83b854dba9b449b7658813f21208411c5cc04192d7ab87454f8f da7f6ff6-f9bc-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200353 https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S1091853125000114 0 5bc7fc25-f9bc-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200352 https://www.jaapos.org/article/S1091-8531(25)00011-4/fulltext 0 fa7f6dae-f9bb-11ef-b232-0050569b8976 https://repozitorij.uni-lj.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=200351 Medicinska fakulteta 0 0 0
