Purpose: To investigate the efficacy and risk factors of intravitreal antivascular endothelial growth factor injection (anti-VEGF therapy) for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP).Methods: We retrospectively reviewed 80 consecutive eyes of 43 patients with Type 1 ROP or worse who received anti-VEGF therapy during January 2012-February 2018. Patients were divided into those who were injected with 0.25 mg of bevacizumab (IVB group, 37 eyes) and 0.25 mg of ranibizumab (IVR group, 43 eyes). Serum VEGF concentrations of 18 patients were measured before and after IVR.Results: Antivascular endothelial growth factor injection therapy reduced ROP activity in all eyes; however, 14 eyes (17.5%) exhibited reactivation. The reactivation rates of the IVB and IVR groups were 13.5% and 20.9%, respectively (P = 0.556). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that postmenstrual age
