Abstract

We performed a meta-analysis to study the association between erythropoietin (EPO) and the development of retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm newborn infants. Studies were identified through PubMed (1966-) and ISI databases (1965-) literature searches. Results and effect sizes are expressed as odds ratio (OR) with 95 % confidence intervals (CI). Fourteen studies identified to the meta-analysis, including 3,484 preterm newborn infants. A total of 563 of 1,221 babies treated with EPO had ROP (46.1 %) vs. 420 of 1,134 babies without EPO (37.0 %). No significant difference was found in the ROP risk between the two groups, with the OR 1.592 (95 % CI 0.901-2.812). A total of 192 of 1,298 babies treated with EPO had severe ROP (stage 3-4) (14.8 %) vs. 166 of 1,199 babies without EPO (13.8 %). The OR was 1.203 (95 % CI 0.763-1.896). No significant publication bias was found. Sensitivity analyses showed the results were robust.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 22 May 2014.
All research outputs
#18,372,841
of 22,756,196 outputs
Outputs from European Journal of Pediatrics
#3,103
of 3,685 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#162,985
of 226,264 outputs
Outputs of similar age from European Journal of Pediatrics
#37
of 51 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,756,196 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 11th percentile – i.e., 11% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 3,685 research outputs from this source. They typically receive more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 7.6. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 226,264 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 15th percentile – i.e., 15% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 51 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one is in the 3rd percentile – i.e., 3% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
