Ongoing improvements in neonatal care may change the critical thresholds for these factors associated with ROP development. We applied a classification and regression tree (CART) analysis to predict the likelihood of developing ROP using a contemporary database.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This cross\u2010sectional study included 1296 premature infants who completed ROP screening by pediatric ophthalmologists from a children's hospital. Relevant infant and maternal parameters were obtained from medical records. CART analysis with the recursive partitioning package was used to predict ROP incidence, treatment need, and plus disease. The dataset was randomized, with 80% for training and 20% reserved for testing the model's accuracy. A 10\u2010fold cross\u2010validation was conducted to assess the model's generalizability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The mean gestational age was 27.7\u00a0\u00b1\u00a02.5\u00a0weeks, and the birth weight was 1017\u00a0\u00b1\u00a0346.9\u00a0g; 538 infants developed ROP. The CART analysis produced a predictive model for ROP incidence with a mean absolute error of 0.25. The critical thresholds identified for ROP development were gestational age &lt;27.2\u00a0weeks and birth weight &lt;775\u00a0g. Two models for ROP progression showed that age &lt;25\u00a0weeks and weight &lt;569\u00a0g were linked to the need for ROP treatment, and age &lt;24\u00a0weeks and non\u2010Black maternal race were associated with plus disease.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Our CART analysis provides updated clinical thresholds for ROP development and progression in a modern U.S. preterm population.
