First seen Nov 01, 2025 · Last updated Jun 19, 2026 · Updated 26 times
Summary
This study looks at whether fatty acids from the mother affect the risk of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP), an eye condition in premature babies. Researchers will collect blood and placenta samples from 135 mothers and their newborns to measure fatty acid receptors. The goal is to understand why some preemies develop ROP while others don't.
