Abstract
Threshold retinopathy of prematurity occurred in 11 of 34 Alaskan nati ves compared with 10 of 93 non-natives. Natives constitute 16% of the state population. This significant Alaskan native preponderance was no t explained by differences in prenatal or intensive care unit morbidit y except that the intervals from birth to extubation and birth to cryo therapy were shorter for natives.
