We estimated serum insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) level to correlate for development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in serum from 15 premature infants. 73% of the infant developed Stage 1 ROP and the rest develop Stage 2. Zone III involvement never progress beyond Stage 1, and Zone II beyond Stage 2. Severity of ROP could not be related to the level of IGF-1. All cases develop ROP of Stage 1 and 2 irrespective of serum IGF-1.
我们估计了15名早产儿血清中胰岛素样生长因子-1（IGF-1）水平与早产儿视网膜病变（ROP）发展的相关性。73%的婴儿发生1期ROP，其余发生2期。Ⅲ区受累从未进展超过1期，Ⅱ区受累从未进展超过2期。ROP的严重程度与IGF-1水平无关。所有病例无论血清IGF-1水平如何，均发生1期和2期ROP。
