“…The incidence of ROP in our hospital at 21% is higher than earlier reports from Ibadan, Nigeria (12.2%),[ 1 ] Lagos, Nigeria (15%),[ 17 ] Ghana (13.7%),[ 18 ] Rwanda (7.3%),[ 8 ] but much less than the 30% reported from Iran,[ 19 ] Port Harcourt, Nigeria (47.2%),[ 4 ] Kenya (41.7%),[ 20 ] and Oman (46.4%). [ 21 ] However, the incidence recorded in this report is similar to the 19.2% reported in Egypt.…”

“…[ 1 ] The study in Egypt[ 22 ] included infants with higher GA (>32 weeks) and BW (up to 2000 g), whereas the mean age in the ROP group in a study in Rwanda is somewhat similar to that in the index study at 30.1 weeks. [ 8 ] However, reasons for the variances in the incidences of ROP from these different studies can be alluded to the difference in the GA used, in addition to other yet-to-be determined factors.…”

“…The result of this study has shown that oxygen therapy for more than seven days had been signi cant for ROP development (P=0.049). Similarly study done by F. Mutangana et al (32), Akkawi (30),and by Cut Badriah (24); had also shown that oxygen therapy had signi cant association for the development of ROP (p<0.05).…”

“…Infants who receive unrestricted oxygen in units without the capacity to blend oxygen/air are at increased risk of developing severe ROP [4]. This may contribute to the observations from previous studies that larger and/or more mature infants (≥1500 g and/or ≥32 weeks gestational age) are developing ROP in sub-Saharan Africa [18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. A compressed oxygen source was available in every unit, but many units did not have the capacity to blend oxygen/air because of lack of compressed medical air, precluding the use of traditional blenders.…”
