Abstract
To analyze the association between risk factors and severe intraventricular hemorrhage (grade II-IV) in PNB under 1500g. Multicenter, retrospective, analytical, case-control study in PNB under 34weeks and under 1500g admitted to the NICU. PNB with severe intraventricular hemorrhage (grade II-IV). Logistic regression analysis was used to adjust for IVH-associated variables and odds ratios (OR). 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). Lower gestational age, birth asphyxia, Apgar score lower of 6, and respiratory-type factors are associated with increased risk for severe IVH.
