Objective To analyze the risk factors of aggressive posterior retinopathy of prematurity (AP-ROP). Methods A retrospective case-control study was applied. Questionnaire was designed through literature research to collect data of AP-ROP and ordinary ROP(except for AP-ROP)from March,2012 to September, 2014 in the department of neonatology in Guangdong Women and Children′s Hospital. Based on the ratio of 1:2 , the two groups were selected with the matching conditions:the closest date of admission in hospital,ordinary ROP children,collection and analysis of the data. Results Univariate analysis:gestational age(P<0.05),birth weight(P<0.05),oxygen therapy days(P<0.05),days of mechanical ventilation(P<0.05),gestational age<32 w(P<0.05),birth weight<1250 g(P<0.05),oxygen(P<0.05),oxygen≥14 d(P<0.05),mechanical ven-tilation(P < 0.05),mechanical ventilation ≥ 14 d(P < 0.05),PS(P < 0.05),neonatal anemia(P < 0.05), blood transfusion≥2 times(P<0.05),RDS(P<0.05),neonatal pneumonia(P<0.05),apnea(P<0.05), BPD(P < 0.05),intracranial hemorrhage(P < 0.05),metabolic acidosis(P < 0.05),and retinal hemorrhage (P < 0.05) were related to AP-ROP. Multivariate analysis with conditional logistic regression analysis indicated that blood transfusion ≥2 times(OR:14.956,95%CI:4.328~51.684)and apnea(OR:7.590,95%CI:2.507~22.978)were regarded as the independent risk factors for AP-ROP. Conclusions AP-ROP is associated with low gestational age,low birth weight,oxygen therapy and related complications including RDS and retinal hemorrhage. Blood transfusion and apnea are important independent risk factors of AP-ROP.
