Infants from multiple academic and community hospital neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) and their covering ophthalmologists had the serial eye examination and treatment data covered by ROP Check® cloud-based database. ROP Check assists neonatologists to implement guideline scheduling of infants according to the American Academy of Pediatrics (AAP).
