Abstract
Abstract
Purpose
To analyze the association between risk factors and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (Grade II-IV) in PNB under 1500 grams.
Methods
Multicenter, retrospective, analytical, case-control, study in PNB under 34 weeks and under 1500 grams admitted to the NICU Case: PNB with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (grade II-IV). Logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for IVH-associated variables and odds ratios (OR).
Results
A total of 90 PNB files were analyzed, 45 cases and 45 controls. The highest risk factors for severe IVH were lower gestational age (OR:1.3, p < 0.001), perinatal asphyxia (OR:12, p < 0.001), Apgar < 6 at minute 1 and 5 (OR:6.3, p < 0.001).
Conclusion
Lower gestational age, birth asphyxia, Apgar score lower of 6, and respiratory-type factors are associated with increased risk for severe IVH.
