Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to analyze trends and risk factors for severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) among infants born before 32 weeks of gestation in Australia and New Zealand from 1995 to 2012.
- Researchers compared IVH incidence across three 6-year periods and found an overall increase in survival rates and a decrease in both overall IVH and severe IVH among these infants.
- Key risk factors for severe IVH included lack of antenatal steroids, being male, low Apgar scores, early intubation, extremely low gestational age, being an outborn infant, and vaginal delivery.
