摘要：
OBJECTIVE: Bilirubin is a potent in vitro antioxidant. Despite repeated study, its in vivo significance has yet to be defined. Bilirubin is universally elevated in very low birthweight (VLBW) infants. Retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) is a disease thought to be associated with exposure to oxygen free radicals in VLBW infants. The objective of this study was to determine whether there was an association between peak bilirubin levels and ROP.
