Abstract

Aim: To detect the association of complete blood count with retinopathy of prematurity.
Materials and Methods: A prospective cohort study from May 2020-April 2021. Preterm infants having Gestation Age<34> Results: 150 preterm infants were screened for ROP out of which 47 were having ROP and 103 no any sign of ROP. The mean GA was 31 Weeks and mean birth weight was 1300 grams of ROP group. The mean Hb of ROP Group was 9.8g/dl as compared to Non-ROP Group having mean Hb-11.4g/dl (p<0> Conclusion: As Hb and MCH plays an principal role in oxygen transport, low levels of these may cause increased vascular endothelial growth factor secretion from the hypoxic retina, leading to ROP. In our study we found that Retinopathy of prematurity infants were having lower Hb, MCH as compared to non-ROP Group.
