Out of 146 infants who were diagnosed with ROP, 22 (15%) of them required treatment. Mean GA for those who underwent ROP treatment was 25.6 (\u00b11.47) weeks and for those who did not require treatment was 27.6 (\u00b11.95) weeks. The mean BWs for those who needed treatment was 764 (\u00b1189.32)\u2009g and for those who did not need treatment was 1039 (\u00b1306.06)\u2009g. The mean duration of invasive ventilation for infants with ROP requiring treatment and those who did not require treatment were 23.95 (\u00b122.41) days and 9.89 (\u00b117.2) days. The total duration of oxygen requirement was 235.54 (\u00b1160.5) days and 121.11 (\u00b1117.34) days for those who needed treatment and those who did not need treatment respectively.
