Short-term effects of intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents on body weight and multiple systems after treatment for retinopathy of prematurity
Abstract:ObjectivesThis study's goal was to assess the short-term effect on body weight and multiple systems following intravitreal injections of ranibizumab and aflibercept for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).MethodsWe retrospectively assessed infants with ROP who received intravitreal anti-vascular endothelial growth factor agents (VEGF) treatment at our hospital.
