Abstract
- Background and Aims Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a severe disease in preterm infants. It is seen more frequently in Low‐Middle Income Countries (LMIC) like Indonesia compared to High‐Income Countries (HIC). Risk factors for ROP development are ‐extreme‐ preterm birth, use of oxygen, neonatal infections, respiratory problems, inadequate nutrition, and blood and exchange transfusions. In this paper, we give an overview of steps that can be taken in LMIC to prevent ROP and provide guidelines for screening and treating ROP. Methods Based on the literature search and data obtained by us in Indonesia's studies, we propose guidelines for the prevention, screening, and treatment of ROP in preterm infants in LMIC. Results Prevention of ROP starts before birth with preventing preterm labor, transferring a mother who might deliver
