NCT ID NCT05133999

First seen Nov 20, 2025 · Last updated Jun 10, 2026 · Updated 32 times

Summary

This study looked at 175 premature babies to see if high iron levels in their blood during the first month of life are linked to a serious eye condition called retinopathy of prematurity (ROP). Researchers measured iron-related markers and tracked which babies developed ROP. The goal was to better understand the role of iron in this disease, not to test a new treatment.
