Berrington JE, et al. - Researchers attempted to investigate if urinary N-terminal B-type natriuretic peptide (NTproBNP) predicted the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in infants <30 weeks of gestation. The enrollment consisted of UK infants ≥30 + 0 weeks of gestation but also <32 weeks of gestation and/or <1501 g. No correlation was determined between infants <30 completed weeks between urinary NTproBNP and the development of ROP in more mature infants. Findings disclosed that urinary NTproBNP was not helpful in rationalising direct ophthalmoscopic screening for ROP in more mature infants. Yielded data could point towards a difference in pathophysiology of ROP in this population.
