Link Between Parenteral Nutrition and Retinopathy of Prematurity Discovered

A retrospective study of over 11,000 premature infants in Sweden found that infants who received parenteral nutrition for at least 14 days were significantly more likely to develop retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) and require treatment for the condition. Clinicians may consider using an updated clinical decision support tool that takes into account the duration of parenteral nutrition. Further research is needed to understand the impact of neonatal nutrition on intestinal and neurovascular development.

AI Predicts Infant Eye Disease Risk

Researchers have developed a deep learning AI tool that can automate the diagnostics of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), a leading cause of childhood blindness. The tool was found to be as effective as senior pediatric ophthalmologists in discriminating normal retinal images from those with ROP that could lead to blindness, and the researchers hope it will improve access to care in underserved areas and prevent blindness in thousands of newborns worldwide.
