However, similar studies in the Indian cohort are limited. The objective of this study is to determine the role of IGF-1 and postnatal growth failure (PNGF) in predicting ROP in an Indian cohort.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Design:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Prospective observational cohort study.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This was a prospective observational study. Babies screened for ROP were categorized based on the highest ROP stage in either eye. Weekly birth weight was estimated and growth failure was diagnosed based on Z score. Blood samples for IGF-1 estimation were collected between 30 and 33 weeks.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      The median IGF-1 levels were lower in the babies with any stage ROP (18.82 ng\/ml) than in no ROP (28.81 ng\/ml) (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.002). On logistic regression analysis, PNGF was independently associated with ROP development with an odds ratio of 2.07 (CI 1.04\u20134.11). The area under the curve of receiver operating characteristic for both IGF-1 levels and postnatal weight gain was &gt; 0.5, implying good diagnostic accuracy in predicting ROP.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion:<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Poor weight gain rate, PNGF, and low IGF-1 are important predictors for ROP and help to identify the neonates with poor postnatal development.
