Abstract
Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage is the most common intracranial hemorrhage in preterm newborns. The high incidence and problems made it important. Many etiologies and risk factors have been found. Newborns can get IVH. Methods: This study included 100 neonates, 59% cases were males & 41% cases were females. GA ranged from 27 to 36 weak, with a mean of 31.9 ±1.67 weak. The weight ranged from 750 g. to 2.93 kg., with a mean of 1.7 ± 0.44 kg. Trans cranial US was done at day one, three and day seven after delivery. Results: The study found that IVH rates were significantly higher in males than in females, and that IVH rates were significantly higher in those who delivered normally than those delivered with CS. Her IVH rate in neonates delivered out-of-hospital was significantly higher than in neonates delivered in-hospital. Regarding ventilatory support, there was a large significant difference between the groups. Frequency of the IVH grades by CUS. Grade I occurred in 12 neonates (44.4%), grade II in 4 neonates (14.8%), and grade III in 8 neonates (29.6%). Grade IV occurred in 3 neonates (11.1%). Conclusion: IVH developed in (27%) of cases from 1st to 7th day postnatal, with mean gestational age was 30.03 weeks, from which 20 were males (74.1%) and 7 females (25.9%). Prematurity, low birth weight and excessive respiratory support are major risk factors for IVH.
