Materials and Methods: One hundred and six infants were included in the study. Early preterm infants with a gestational age (GA) ≤ 32 weeks and birth weight (BW) ≤ 1500 gm were included. These infants were divided into three groups: infants without ROP (group 1), infants with ROP who did not require treatment (group 2) and infants with ROP who were treated with intravitreal anti-VEGF (group 3). In the first week, neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR), monocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio (MLR) and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratio (PLR) of the groups were calculated and compared. Results: Of 106 infants, 38 (35.8%) were in group 1, 30 (28.3%) were in group 2 and 38 (35.8%) were in group 3. GA was 24.89 ± 1.48 weeks, and BW was significantly lower in group 3, 775.21 ± 175.11 gm. (p < 0.001). There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of NLR, MLR and PLR (p = 0.833, p = 0.918 and p = 0.082, respectively). Logistic regression analysis was performed; BW was a statistically significant independent risk factor (OR: 0,999 %CI: 0,992-0,999 p = 0.022) associated with ROP that required treatment. Conclusion: It was shown that systemic inflammation parameters, including NLR, MLR and PLR, are not a reliable marker in the diagnosis and prognosis of ROP.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessRetinopathy of prematurityNeutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratioMonocyte-to-lymphocyte ratio and platelet-to-lymphocyte ratioEvaluation of blood inflammatory parameters of infants with premature retinopathy treated with intravitreal anti vascular endothelial growth factorEvaluation of blood inflammatory parameters of infants with premature retinopathy treated with intravitreal anti vascular endothelial growth factorArticle312134139112261010.37845/ret.vit.2022.31.23
