Insulin-like growth factor-1 and anti-vascular endothelial growth factor in retinopathy of prematurity: has the time come?

abstract：BACKGROUND:High-dose recombinant erythropoietin (rEpo) is neuroprotective in neonatal animal models of brain injury, but the long-term consequences of neonatal exposure have not been studied. OBJECTIVES:We hypothesized that multiple injections of high-dose rEpo during the neonatal period would be safe, and would impro...
