Scientists probe Iron's role in preemie eye damage

NCT ID NCT05133999

Summary

This study aimed to understand if high iron levels in the blood are a risk factor for a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in very premature infants. Researchers followed 175 babies born very early or with very low birth weight, measuring their blood iron levels during the first month of life. They checked if these iron measurements were linked to the babies developing ROP or how severe it became.
