without both PTL & preterm-PROM in the context of inflammation-free placenta. Chan-Wook PARK, Suk Jae LEE, Su Jin SUNG, Joong Shin PARK, Jong Kwan JUN, Jeong Hun KIM Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, Department of Biomedical Sciences & Department of Ophthalmology, Seoul National University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea Objective We recently found a novel observation that retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants due to either PTL or preterm-PROM without FGR is decreased with the progression of acute histologic chorioamnionitis (acute-HCA). Therefore, it is likely that acute-HCA has been a hidden but strong confounder in the previous studies about the relationship between FGR and the occurrence of ROP. Up to now, there is no information about whether FGR is associated with an increase in ROP of extremely and very preterm infants delivered without both PTL and preterm-PROM in the context of inflammation-free placenta although preterm-FGR is known to be related to the development of ROP without adjustment for acute-HCA. The objective of current study is to examine this issue.
