Retinopathy of Prematurity in The World

WHO: First cause of blindness in infants in developed and developing countries

Indonesia: First cause of blindness in preterm infants

Retinopathy of Prematurity
Vascular disorder of infants with gestational age less than 28 weeks and is accompanied by low birth weight

Pathogenesis of ROP
Fails to limit retinal oxygenation

Arrest in vascular development

The regrowth becomes overstated, deregulated, and misguide

Cytokine: The Amazing Protein

Adaptive Innate Hematop oiesis

Cytokines are proteins secreted by the cells of innate and adaptive immunity that mediate many of the functions of these cells, include hematopoietic cells

Introduction

Conclusion

Conclusion
Retinopathy of prematurity is a vascular disorder that attacks the blood vessels of the retina in infants with premature birth and low birth weight

There are significant association between retinopathy of prematurity in the inflammatory process that triggers the secretion of proinflammatory cytokines
