Abstract:Purpose:
To measure the levels of inflammatory factors in tear fluid of pre-term infants with and without retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
Methods:
The cross-sectional pilot study included 29 pre-term infants undergoing routine ROP screening. Pre-term infants were grouped as those without ROP (no ROP; n = 14) and with ROP (ROP; n = 15). Sterile Schirmer’s strips were used to collect the tear fluid from pre-term infants. Inflammatory factors such as int… Show more
