The 173 children w/severe ROP (prethreshold ROP or worse) were more likely than peers without ROP to have brain HUS lesions or CP, and twice as likely to have Bayley Scales scores <55. After adjusting for risk factors common to both ROP and brain disorders, infants with severe ROP were at increased risk of low Bayley Scales only. Exposure to anesthesia was not associated with low Bayley Scales.
