Abstract | PURPOSE: METHODS: RESULTS: CONCLUSIONS: There was no significant difference in stage of retinopathy of prematurity between infants of single-gestation pregnancies vs those of multiple-gestation pregnancies. The majority (84%) of infants of multiple-gestation pregnancies had concordant retinopathy of prematurity. In those infants with discordant disease, zygosity and postgestational factors other than lowest serum glucose were not related to severity of retinopathy of prematurity.
