摘要

FIELD: medicine.;SUBSTANCE: baby's gender, weight, content of haemoglobin in peripheral blood is determined at birth, taking into account the number of days spent in the department of resuscitation and intensive therapy. A prognostic index (PI) is calculated by the claimed formula. With PI greater than 0 a high risk of implementation of grade III retinopathy is predicted. With PI less than 0, a conclusion is made about the low risk of progression of this pathology.;EFFECT: method helps to predict the development of the threshold stage of retinopathy of prematurity in children with extremely low body weight with the help of an evaluation of the most important indicators.;4 ex
