Abstract
Seventy-five infants ≤34 weeks gestation & birthweight ≥1000g had ultrasound brain studies to diagnose IVH and subependymal hemorrhages (SEH) on the first day of life (30′ to 23 hrs. after birth). They were grouped according to delivery (with & without labor). Diagnosis in the first 24 hours after birth & major IVH/SEH (IVH/SEH associated with ventricular enlargement) were considered.
Infants born after labor had a higher incidence of major IVH/SEH even if those without RDS, PDA and asphyxia born with labor were compared with sick infants born without labor (2 Rh-hydrops, 14 RDS & PDA, 2 severe asphyxia). Labor seems important in the pathogenesis of large IVH/SEH in infants BW≥1000g.
