“…This is also supported by evidence from our recent report from BabySTEPS, where we observed a linear growth rate of 14.8 µm/week of the choroid from 30 to 38.4 weeks and then cessation of growth, with a growth rate of 0.3 µm/week from 38.4 to 60 weeks. However, we noted that extremely low birth weight and extremely preterm infants had significantly slower initial growth rate ( 42 ).…”

“…It is therefore, important to consider the age of the infant while generating thickness measurements throughout early life (5). We have reported good intergrader and intragrader reproducibility for both retinal and choroidal layer thicknesses across various age groups (15,20,(40)(41)(42). Factor such as image quality, image tilt, variable retinal layer reflectance, imager stability for handheld OCT systems and subject body position (upright or supine) impact reproducibility across OCT systems (5,43).…”

The increasing survival of preterm infants has led to the importance of improving long-term outcomes associated with preterm birth. Antenatal and perinatal insults not only impact mortality, but also long-term disability. While in the intensive care nursery, preterm infants are also exposed to various stressors that lead to long-term cognitive deficits. It is therefore critical to identify early, low-stress, non-invasive biomarkers for preterm infant health. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a powerful imaging modality that has recently been adapted to the infant population and provides noninvasive, high-resolution, cross-sectional imaging of the infant eye at the bedside with low stress relative to conventional examination. In this review we delve into discussing the associations between preterm systemic health factors and OCT-based retinal findings and their potential contribution to the development of non-invasive biomarkers for infant health and for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).
