[Hematocrit values in newborns with intraventricular hemorrhage, periventricular hemorrhage and periventricular leukomalacia].
The group of one hundred newborns with a birth weight from 650 to 3340 g, born between 24 and 41 week of pregnancy had been assessed according to the interdependence between hematocrit and intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL). The data indicate that among etiological factors which have the influence on prevalence and intensification of IVH and PVL there should be taken into consideration abnormal values of venous haematocrit in first hours of life. Newborns with moderate and severe degree of IVH and with PVL have abnormal values of haematocrit in first hours of life in 50-60%. In etiology of IVH and PVL greater importance have decreased than increased values of haematocrit.
