Eleven infants were treated for aggressive posterior ROP. Appropriate screening criteria for the 2 NICUs with high survival rates (ie, \u226580% among infants with birth weights of &amp;lt;1500 g) would be \u22641500 g or &amp;lt;32 weeks. For NICUs with low survival rates (ie, &amp;lt;80%), appropriate criteria would be \u22641500 g or \u226435 weeks. UK, US, and previous Brazilian criteria would all miss infants needing treatment.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>ROP programs in Brazil should use the wider criteria of \u22641500 g or \u226435 weeks until further evidence-based criteria become available, although this would mean a slight increase in workload across the city, compared with use of the narrower criteria in the better units. Whether survival rates can be used as a proxy to indicate screening criteria requires further investigation.<\/jats:p>\n
