*

RW-ROP = referral warranted retinopathy of prematurity defined as the presence of zone I ROP, stage 3 ROP or plus disease.

**

For infants with RW-ROP, the images from the session when diagnostic examination first identified findings consistent with RW-ROP were used. For infants without RW-ROP, a random image session was selected.
