This study describes retinopathy of prematurity treatment practices using Medicaid and commercial claims databases. Infants with Medicaid tend to be sicker overall and have higher rates of retinopathy of prematurity requiring treatment than those with commercial insurance. Among patients who required treatment, those with Medicaid were more likely to receive anti-vascular endothelial growth factor than laser treatment. .
这项研究使用医疗补助和商业索赔数据库描述了早产儿视网膜病变的治疗实践。与拥有商业保险的婴儿相比，拥有医疗补助的婴儿总体上往往病情更重，且需要治疗的早产儿视网膜病变发病率更高。在需要治疗的患者中，接受抗血管内皮生长因子治疗的可能性高于激光治疗。
