Capturing serial daily postnatal weight gain can act as an innovative, low-cost method of risk stratification. We aim to study the relation between weight gain in infants and occurrence of ROP.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Methods:<\/jats:title>\n \n The prospective, observational study was conducted on 62 infants. ROP screening was done based on the Rashtriya Bal Swasthya Karyakram (RBSK) criteria. Infants were classified into no ROP (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 28), mild ROP (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 8), and treatable ROP (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 26) groups. Average daily postnatal weight gain was measured and its relation to development of ROP was studied. All statistical calculations were done using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) 21 version (SPSS Inc., Chicago, IL, USA) statistical program for Microsoft Windows.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Results:<\/jats:title>\n \n Mean rate of weight gain in no ROP group, mild ROP group, and treatable ROP group was 33.12, 27.19, and 15.31 g\/day, respectively (\n P<\/jats:italic>\n = 0.001). Mean gestational age and birth weight in treatable group (\n n<\/jats:italic>\n = 26) were 31.38 weeks and 1572.31 g, respectively. Receiver operating curve analysis revealed a cutoff of 29.33 g\/day for ROP and 21.91 g\/day for severe ROP.\n <\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n We concluded that, babies with poor weight gain of below 29.33 g\/day are at high risk for ROP and babies with wight gain of 21.91 g\/day are at high risk for severe ROP. These babies should be followed meticulously. So, the rate of weight gain of a preterm can help us to prioritize babies.<\/jats:p>\n
