Why is it important?
The same factors seemed to be responsible for both the diseases. The study of both diseases may contribute to the discovery of the most important risk factor(s).
Perspectives
More than 20 ROP and BPD risk factors are mentioned in various publications, but the actual meaning is not precisely defined. Thus, the problem remains all the time interesting.
