Risk Factors of Germinal Matrix Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Premature Infants
OBJECTIVE To determine whether some clinical parameters can be used to predict the hemorrhage and whether the relationship between these clinical variables and the grades of hemorrhage is linear. METHODS A total of 230 premature infants, born at a gestational age less than 34 weeks were retrospectively reviewed. Germinal matrix-intraventricular hemorrhage (GM-IVH), the grade of the hemorrhage...
متن کاملGerminal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage: pathogenesis and outcomes
Germinal matrix hemorrhage-intraventricular hemorrhage (GMH-IVH) is one of the CNS injuries affecting preterm infants occurring in about 15%–20% of subjects weighing less than 1500 g. Currently, using ultrasonography, we recognize three grades of GMH-IVH. Grade I involving the subependymal parenchyma and/or extending in less than 10% of the ventricle, grade II with intraventricular bleeding not...
متن کاملintraventricular hemorrhage in premature infants and its association with pneumothorax
intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is one of the major causes of the cerebral palsy and mental retardation. prevention and early management of these neurologic developmental problems will require determining the perinatal risk factors associated with this clinical entity. pneumothorax increase the risk of ivh, and cause of pneumothorax has an important effect in severity of ivh. this is a prospe...
متن کاملEarly Sodium and Fluid Intake and Severe Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Extremely Low Birth Weight Infants
Hypernatremic dehydration is an important cause of intracranial hemorrhage. A possible association of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) with hypernatremia and/or high sodium intake has been suggested in preterm infants. To investigate the associations of early fluid and sodium intake or serum sodium concentrations with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely low birth weight (ELBW...
متن کاملLeukocytosis in Preterm Infants with Intraventricular Hemorrhage
Background:Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common intracranial hemorrhage in premature infants. The objective of this study was to investigate the relationship between intraventricular hemorrhage and blood leukocyte count. Materials and Methods:This was a cross-sectional simple sampling study conducted from the beginning of 2006 to 2010 in Ali-Asghar Children’s Hospital. Inclusion c...
