While prematurity and supplemental oxygen are the most established risk factors, upstream antenatal determinants such as maternal nutritional status may also shape fetal retinal vascular development and neonatal outcomes. This study examines whether maternal anthropometry is associated with the key neonatal determinants of ROP risk in an Indian tertiary NICU setting, where maternal undernutrition and high preterm birth rates coexist.
