Validation of DIGIROP models and decision support tool for prediction of treatment for retinopathy of prematurity on a contemporary Swedish cohort

Background/Aims: Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is currently diagnosed through repeated eye examinations to find the low percentage of infants that fulfil treatment criteria to reduce vision loss. A prediction model for severe ROP requiring treatment that might sensitively and specifically identify infants that develop severe ROP, DIGIROP-Birth, was developed using birth characteristics.

Storm chasing : Tracking Holocene storminess in southern Sweden using mineral proxies from inland and coastal peat bogs

Severe extratropical winter storms are a recurrent feature of the European climate and cause widespread socioeconomic losses.
