- BACKGROUND: Premature infants are often stressed by the current retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) screening procedure. Additionally, only < 10 % of the screened infants will develop a ROP stadium requiring laser therapy. Therefore the present screening strategy is unsatisfactory. Furthermore, the current guidelines do not take into account postnatal factors. A new method considering postnatal factors is the weight, insulin-like growth factor, neonatal ROP (WINROP) algorithm. This approach is based on the early postnatal weight gain. The aim of this study was to assign the WINROP-algorithm to a preterm population in Switzerland and to analyze its ability for prediction. PATIENTS AND METHODS: In this retrospective study, all preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) < 32 weeks and/or a birth weight (BW)
