2) The high incidence was observed in low birthweight and small gestational age.
3) Mean age of first diagnosing time was 42.012 day of life and mean gestational age was 31.82.5 weeks and mean birthweight was 1646.5350.7gm.
4) In gestational age, birthweight and duration of oxygen therapy, there was statistically difference between cryotherapy group and spontaneous regression group. Other possible risk factors-hyaline membrane disease, apnea, anemia-were showed higher incidence in cryotherapy group.
