Background: This study aimed to explore the risk factors for early intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in extremely low birth weight infants (ELBWIs) to provide guidance for early intervention, thereby improving survival rates and quality of life for these vulnerable infants.
Methods: A retrospective study was conducted on 205 ELBWIs admitted to the Women and Children's Medical Center of Guangzhou Medical University from January 2019 to December 2023. Standard head ultrasound screening (HUS) was used to assess the presence and severity of IVH on days 1-3 and 5-7 post-birth.

Objectives: To study the treatment outcomes of extremely preterm infants.
Methods: A retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of extremely preterm infants who were admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit of the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University from January 2016 to December 2022. The infants were divided into a non-in-hospital death group and a survival group.

Background: Periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage can lead to posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation or even posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus if not detected promptly. Sequential cranial ultrasound scans are typically used for their diagnoses. Nonetheless, manual image audit has numerous disadvantages.

Introduction: Extremely preterm infants (EPIs) have high morbidity and mortality, and are recommended to be born in a tertiary perinatal center (inborn). However, many EPIs in central China are born in lower-level hospitals and transferred postnatally, the outcomes of which remain to be investigated.
Methods: EPIs admitted to the Department of Neonatology, Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Hubei Province from January 2013 to December 2022 were retrospectively recruited and divided into the control (inborn) and transfer groups (born in other hospitals).

Objective: Periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common type of intracranial bleeding in newborns, especially in the first 3 days after birth. Severe periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage is considered a progression from mild periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage and is often closely associated with severe neurological sequelae. However, no specific indicators are available to predict the progression from mild to severe periventricular-intraventricular in early admission.
