TITLE : A STUDY ON ASSOCIATION OF RETINOPATHY OF PREMATURITY WITH NEONATAL SEPSIS IN PREMATURE INFANTS NAME: DR.RAJAT VILAS NAGARGOJE INSTITUTE: MGM MEDICAL, NAVI MUMBAI DEPARTMENT: PAEDIATRICS DESIGNATION: JUNIOR RESIDENT EMAIL: rajat11.rn@gmail.com MOB NO: 7977174921 AUTHORS: DR.RAJAT VILAS NAGARGOJE, DR.VIJAY KAMALE ABSTRACT WORD COUNT: 250 INTRODUCTION: ROP is a multifactorial vasoproliferative retinal disorder that can cause severe visual handicap. Risk factors include prolonged or labile oxygen exposure and increased illness severity. AIMS & OBJECTIVES: To observe the association between ROP and sepsis (both early and late onset) in premature neonates. MATERIAL & METHODS: We included hospital-based data from the NICU of MGM hospital, of months July – August 2023. RESULT: Of 162 premature newborns delivered during two months of study duration, 32 neonates were screened for ROP according to national standard guidelines of which 23 infants were diagnosed with some stage of ROP. Total of 8 infants were tested positive for sepsis screen during the NICU stay during these 2 months, which included 2 infants having early onset sepsis and remaining 6 infants affected with late onset sepsis. 6 of the 8 infants presented with some stage of ROP (i.e. 75% of septic infants) at the time of 1 st screening. Rest 17 infants were not affected with any form of sepsis until the 1 st screening for ROP. Our analysis showed that sepsis was closely related to any stage of ROP (OR = 1.58, 95% CI being 1.06 to 2.33) in premature infants. CONCLUSION: Sepsis increases the risk of ROP in premature infants. But considering that our study was observational and causality can rarely be established.
