Some clinical aspects of periventricular-intraventricular hemorrhage (PVH-IVH) in the newborns.
Twenty seven cases of neonatal intracranial PVH-IVH were studied. Twenty-three (83.3%) cases were born with birth weight of less than 2,500 grams; out of which 8 (29.7%) had birth weight of less than 1,500 grams. Twenty (74.1%) cases were born after less than 37 weeks gestation, and 7 (25.9%) were born after more than 37 weeks of gestation. Out of the 18 cases with known Apgar scores, 11 (61.1%) were born with asphyxia. We could not make any conclusion on the correlation between mortality of newborn infants with PVH-IVH and severity of the bleeding, as most of them had other associated illness as well, which may directly or indirectly affect the mortality.
