In recent years, artificial intelligence (AI) has emerged as a powerful tool for the screening and management of ROP. This study aimed to investigate the evolving and longitudinal publication patterns related to AI in ROP using bibliometric methodologies.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title><jats:p>We conducted a descriptive analysis of AI in ROP documents retrieved from the Web of Science database up to September 10, 2023. Data analysis and visualization were performed using Bibliometrix and VOSviewer, covering publications, journals, authors, institutions, countries, collaboration networks, keywords, and trending topics.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Our analysis of 188 publications on AI in ROP revealed an average of 7.62 authors per document and a notable increase in annual publications since 2017. The United States (98\/188), Oregon Health &amp; Science University (66\/188), Investigative Ophthalmology &amp; Visual Science (29\/188) and author Michael F. Chiang (60\/188) led contributions. A prominent 21\u2010country network emerged as the largest in country\u2010level coauthorship.
