Since ROP typically presents no clinical symptoms or signs in early infancy, timely screening of preterm infants is essential for diagnosis. However, fundus examinations cannot always be performed at the optimal time. Elevated cord blood cytokines may help identify infants at higher risk for ROP development, enabling earlier screening and potentially predicting the need for treatment. A deeper understanding of clinical risk factors and biomarkers of ROP could aid in preventing abnormal retinal vascularization and its complications. The study aimed to evaluate the predictive efficacy of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-\u03b1), interleukin-6 (IL-6), and interleukin-8 (IL-8) in early ROP development and treatment necessity.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This prospective study included 88 preterm neonates.
