risk factors of intracranial hemorrhage in premature neonates.
Authors
abstract
intraventricular hemorrhage (ivh) is an important cause of brain injury in premature neonates. current study tries to define associated risk factors of ivh in preterm neonates in aliasghar children hospital during 2008 to 2011. in this study, the risk factors have been evaluated in premature neonates with ivh, who had at least one brain sonography since their admission in nicu. a total of 63 premature neonates with ivh were assessed. mean gestational age was 29.81 (24-34) weeks and mean birth weight was 1290.83±382.96 gr. other risk factors such as sex, mode of delivery, history of using infertility drugs, maternal disease, maternal hypertension and preeclampsia, lumbar puncture, ventilator therapy and pneumothorax were considered. because no absolute treatment for ivh is available, identifying risk factors is important in prevention and management of ivh.

intracranial hemorrhage is one of the major causes of neonatal mortality and morbidity. it is the most severe cranial problem in that period. those who survive would be affected by hydrocephalus, encephalomalacia, and finally brain atrophy. with accurate knowledge of risk factors, hemorrhage may be diagnosed earlier and the complications managed earlier. this study was performed in neonatal int...

One hundred and eleven high risk neonates were subjected to (cranial ultrasound (CR-USG) Caranial sonography was performed by 2D realtime scanner with 5 MHz transducer through anterior and posterior fontanelle and temporo-squamal suture. One quarter of these neonates developed intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) within 120 hours of birth. Of them 42.8% neonates recovered completely, 21.4% developed v...

BACKGROUND Up to 40% of infants with persistent pulmonary hypertension (PPHN) remains refractory to conventional therapies, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is offered as an effective support for this group. However, ECMO is a highly invasive and risky procedure with devastating complications such as intracranial hemorrhage (ICH). In this study, we aimed to determine the risk fact...

Background: Periventricular hemorrhage (PVH) is common in early preterm neonates but much less common in term and late preterm neonates. The aim of this study was to identify the risk factors and outcomes of PVH in term and late preterm neonates in a tertiary care center in Upper Egypt. Methods: A total of 33 term and late preterm (≥ 34 weeks...
