This study concerns the prognostic value of total cord-blood CK-BB activity measured with a new method in preterm infants at risk of PIVH. Twenty-six patients with gestational age less than 36 weeks were studied. The presence of PIVH was proved by either ultrasound scans or autopsy. Total CK-BB values in cord-blood of infants who developed PIVH were significantly higher than those of patients without cerebral bleeding (P less than 0.001).
