| Popis: | Aim: To determine the occurrence of intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and its association with coagulation factors at birth in preterm neonates born before 30 wk gestation. Methods: 38 neonates (median gestational age 27 wk, range 24–29 wk; median birthweight (BW) 933 g, range 515–1760 g) admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit were studied. Blood samples for coagulation factors were taken within 2 h after birth. The first cranial ultrasonographic examination was performed within the first 3 d. The occurrence of IVH was tested statistically by the Mann-Whitney U-test for association with the activity of coagulation factors and clinical variables. Results: Thirteen IVHs occurred within the first 3 d of life. IVH was associated with BW |
