AIM: We explore whether children born very preterm who have visual dysfunctions are at higher risk for having neonatal systemic inflammation.
RESULTS/CONCLUSION: Only one of 80 assessments (16 proteins on five different days) was significant for visual field deficit, and one for impaired fixation at 2 years. No association was found between strabismus and any inflammatory mediator.
