| Abstract | PURPOSE: To prospectively study the association of high cytokine plasma levels with later development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants with early-onset sepsis to assess a laboratory test to detect ROP. METHODS: A prospective cohort study was conducted of preterm infants with clinical early-onset sepsis whose birth weight (BW) was ≤1500 g and gestational age (GA) was ≤32 weeks. Plasma samples were assayed for cytokines IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-1ß, and TNF- . ROP was diagnosed in screening assessments. For the univariate analysis of the known risk factors for ROP, all infants without ROP were designated as the No ROP group, patients with any stage of ROP formed the ROP group, and all treated patients formed the Severe ROP group. The best cutoff points for all cytokine levels were determined by ROC curves. RESULTS: Seventy-four patients were enrolled. Mean GA and BW were 29.6 ± 2.1 weeks and 1110.3 ± 232.5 g, respectively; 49 patients (66.2%) had no ROP and 25 (33.8%) had any stage of ROP (17 had stage 1 or 2 ROP and 8 had stage 3 ROP). IL-6 >357 pg/mL, IL-8 >216 pg/mL, and TNF- >245 pg/mL were significantly associated with treatable ROP. CONCLUSIONS: There is a relationship between high plasma levels of IL-6, IL-8, and TNF- in the first days of life with the later development of ROP severe enough to treat in preterm infants with early-onset sepsis. Further epidemiologic studies are needed to explore other possible associations of high serum levels of cytokines with ROP in this population at high risk. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
