This study aimed to determine the association between hyperglycemia, insulin therapy, and severe retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in extremely low-birth-weight (ELBW) infants. Hyperglycemia alone was not associated with severe ROP in ELBW infants. However, researchers did observe a possible trend between the use of insulin and severe ROP.
