  1. Table 1 demonstrates the characteristics of Pre-ETROP and Post-ETROP Groups treated with laser. Statistically significant differences include age at birth, weight at birth, and the interval between birth and first examination. Fewer days were needed between the first examination and laser surgery (P = 0.05). No significant difference was found in the number of laser spots placed, nor in the prevalence of multiparity.
