| Abstract | Objective: To assess the predictive value of early reti-nal vascular diameter measurements for the develop-ment of severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in high-risk preterm infants. Methods: Digital fundus images were taken of 78 eyes at risk for ROP with a noncontact camera during fundo-scopic examination when infants were 31 to 34 weeks of postconception age. Vessel diameters were measured for the major superior and inferior temporal arteries and veins with the use of VesselMap software. Mean vessel diameters from eyes that developed severe ROP requiring treatment were compared with those that developed less severe ROP not requiring treatment or no ROP. Results:All 4major temporal retinal vessels showed sig- |
