20.500.12556/DiRROS-28960 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 Neznano 2026-04-14 15:06:16 2026-04-14 15:06:16 2026-04-15 03:57:42 0000-00-00 00:00:00 2025 0 0 str. 1-6 no. 1, [article no.] 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 RAZ_Zupan_Matej_2025.pdf RAZ_Zupan_Matej_2025.pdf 1 CF3AB37C0FFD7C8283F0A8A8C07496FD b606dd3ba29d6249d40cf84e1a96d34783a04e5bbb9f804af337e0a5d3338ce3 d8de58b6-3802-11f1-9cc3-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43204 https://www.jaapos.org/article/S1091-8531(25)00011-4/fulltext 1 ba3a24ad-3802-11f1-9cc3-001a4af901a5 https://dirros.openscience.si/Dokument.php?lang=slv&id=43203 Univerzitetni klinični center Ljubljana 0 0 0
