AIM:Toestimateoverallprevalenceofretinopathyofprematurity(ROP)inIranusingasystematicreviewandMeta-analysis.METHODS:AsystematicreviewandMeta-analysiswasperformedofallpublishedstudiespertainingtoprevalenceofROPusinginternationalandnationalelectronicdatabases(ISIWebofSciences,PubMed,Scopus,GoogleScholar,SID,MagIran,andIranMedex)fromtheirinceptionuntilMay2016withstandardkeywords.BeggandEggertestswereusedtoexaminethepublicationbiasandCochrantestandI~2statisticswereusedtoevaluatethestatisticalheterogeneity.PooledestimateoftheprevalenceofROPwerecalculatedusingrandomeffectsMetaanalysis.RESULTS:ThepublicationbiasassumptionwasrejectedbyEggertestswithP-valueequalto0.024.TheresultsofCochrantestandI~2statisticsrevealedsubstantialheterogeneity(Q=1099.02,df=25,I~2=97.7%,P=0.001).TheoverallprevalenceofROPusingtherandomeffectmodelinIranwas26.1%(95%CI:20.3%-31.8%).CONCLUSION:TheprevalenceofROPisrelativelyhighinIran.Lowbirthweightandgestationalagearesignificantriskfactorsforthedisease.Improvedcare,includingoxygendeliveryandmonitoring,forpretermbabiesinallfacilitysettingswouldreducethenumberofbabiesaffectedwithROP.
