Comparative analysis confirmed nationally and internationally increasing ROP screening and children with acute ROP. Telemedical screening was equivalent to on-site screening and safe. Both screening methods identified infants requiring treatment on time. No child with GA > 29 weeks required treatment, analogous to Swedish ROP registry results; however, in the German ROP registry some premature babies with GA ≥ 30 weeks required treatment.
