The present study included preterm infants born before 30 weeks of gestation. Medical records were reviewed for 1,836 infants, of whom 187 met the inclusion criteria. Data on PLT parameters and ROP treatment were extracted from the medical records. Receiver operating characteristic analysis was used to determine cutoff values for PLT parameters associated with the need for ROP treatment.
