Abstract
Unblended oxygen, less equipped NICUs, missed ROP screening, and lack of awareness of risk factors in the peripheral centers contributed to a rise in APROP in these settings. Sanghi et al.[[7]] reported that if the American screening guidelines for ROP were to be followed, then 15.9% infants having birth weight >1,500 g and 9.1% infants born after 32 weeks developing APROP would have been missed in the Indian setting. India is currently facing the third epidemic of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). [Extracted from the article]
