Gezmu AM, Shifa JZ, Quinn GE, et al. - Researchers conducted this prospective observational study to provide initial data and determine retinopathy of prematurity (ROP)-associated risk factors from a single neonatal care center on the incidence of ROP in Gaborone, Botswana. This investigation was carried out at Princess Marina Hospital in Gaborone, Botswana. The sample consisted of 264 premature neonates with birth weights of < 1,801 g or gestational age (GA) of < 34 weeks. Findings suggested that ROP is a treatable cause of blindness in Botswana. Plausible reasons for poor outcomes in those who were diagnosed with type 1 ROP are lack of a proper screening protocol, delay in diagnosis and management.
