Abstract
This study describes retinopathy of prematurity treatment practices using Medicaid and commercial claims databases. Infants with Medicaid tend to be sicker overall and have higher rates of retinopathy of prematurity requiring treatment than those with commercial insurance. Among patients who required treatment, those with Medicaid were more likely to receive anti-vascular endothelial growth factor than laser treatment.
