BMC Pediatrics

Table 3 Risk factors for development of stage 3 ROP among all infants, n = 582*

Clinical variable	Beta coeff	Odds ratio	95% CI	p-value
Gestational age	−0.37	0.690	(0.533, 0.892)	0.04
Hyperglycemia days	0.0003	1.000	(0.938, 1.066)	0.99
Ventilator days	0.0134	1.013	(1.001, 1.027)	0.04
Sepsis	0.562	1.756	(0.915, 3.4)	0.09
IVH	0.716	2.045	(1.017, 4.113)	0.04
PDA	0.035	1.036	(0.702, 1.528)	0.86
Neonatal steroids	−0.072	0.931	(0.422, 2.054)	0.86

For all dichotomous predictor variables 1 = presence of risk factor, 0 = absence of risk factor.
* no ROP, stage 1 or 2 ROP = 0, stage 3 ROP =1, probability modeled is stage 3 ROP = 1.
