Research Article: Association of serum levels of inflammatory cytokines with retinopathy of prematurity in preterm infants
Abstract:
Introduction: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a retinal vascular developmental disease associated with risks factors such as supplementary oxygen use or low birth weight/early gestational age. Multiple studies have reported associations between ROP and systemic inflammation. In this study, we investigated serum cytokines associated with ROP development and severity and assessed their applicability as potential biomarkers of ROP.
