Periventricular leucomalacia and neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.
During an 18 month period, 120 preterm infants of 34 weeks' gestation or less were prospectively examined for periventricular leucomalacia (PVL) by cerebral ultrasound. Neurological and developmental assessment was carried out at 18 months of age corrected for prematurity in 82 surviving neonates. The developmental outcome (Griffiths development quotient) was above 80 and similar in infants wit...
متن کاملEarly aggressive nutrition in very preterm infants.
Despite numerous advances in the nutrition of preterm infants, the increasing survival at lower birth weights is resulting in a new frontier of extrauterine nutritional support of these vulnerable infants. The extremely low birth weight infant has endogenous energy to maintain energy balance for only 3-4 days without an exogenous energy supply. Nevertheless, many clinicians are still hesitant t...
متن کاملperiventricular leucomalacia and seizure in preterm infants
conclusions the high light finding of our study was the higher frequency of seizure in infants without pvl. these findings can be explained by the inclusion criteria of our study. results totally 45 infants were studied. about 55.6% were male and 44.6% female. the mean of pregnancy duration was 32.72 - 2.78 weeks. seizure frequency was 42.2%. the pvl grading was: 28.9% mild, 20% moderate and 4....
متن کاملReduction in periventricular haemorrhage in preterm infants.
Our previous cerebral ultrasound study of antecedents of periventricular haemorrhage in infants weighing 1250 g or less at birth suggested that neonatal events that caused increased or fluctuating cerebral blood flow lead to periventricular haemorrhage. As the risk period for this type of haemorrhage was the first four days of life strict guidelines were introduced to avoid the previously ident...
متن کاملEarly amplitude-integrated electroencephalography predicts brain injury and neurological outcome in very preterm infants
Early amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) has been widely used in term infants with brain injury to predict neurodevelopmental outcomes; however, the prognostic value of early aEEG in preterm infants is unclear. We evaluated how well early aEEG could predict brain damage and long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in very preterm infants compared with brain imaging assessments. We ...
