Retinopathy of prematurity: what causes it?
Clin Perinatol.
1988 Dec.
Abstract
Retinopathy of prematurity continues to be a major cause of morbidity in surviving prematures despite attempts to regulate oxygen. Developing retinal vessels apparently can be disrupted by any of a considerable number of influences. By far the preeminent risk factor is extreme prematurity itself.
