Introduction : Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is one of the most common causes of childhood blindness worldwide, it is multifactorial and has implications for the quality of life of the newborn, generating disability, increasing the economic, emotional and family burden. Objectives and hypotheses : To evaluate the association between the speed of early postnatal weight gain with ROP in premature infants weighing less than 1500g from the Neonatology Department of the Guillermo Almenara Irigoyen Hospital (HNGAI) during 2010-2020. Materials and methods : Retrospective cohort analytical observational study. Records of premature babies weighing less than 1500g from the HNGAI database were used. To classify ROP, the “International Classification for Retinopathy of Prematurity” (ICROP) was used; and the Average 2-point formula for rate of early postnatal weight gain. Univariate, bivariate and multivariate statistical analysis (Poisson Regression) was performed. Results: Neonates with moderately low early postnatal weight gain velocity (Q3) had a 0.77 lower risk of developing ROP compared to the reference group [95% CI: 0.47 - 1.26]. Those premature infants with low early postnatal weight gain velocity (Q4) have 0.66 lower risk of developing ROP compared to the reference group [95% CI: 0.40 - 1.09]. Conclusion : No association was found between the speed of early postnatal weight gain and ROP in premature infants from the HNGAI. However, our study provides a first approach to the exploration of nutritional characteristics as a risk factor for the development of ROP in Peru.
