| Popis: | To the Editor.— We read with interest the article by Kuban et al1 that concluded that phenobarbital might be associated with an increased risk of subependymal-intraventricular-in-traparenchymal hemorrhage in premature infants. The authors compared the incidence of cranial bruising and found it to be 17.2% in the phenobarbital-treated group and 9.6% in the placebo-treated group. Szymonowitz et al2 found that, of all the obstetric data obtained from premature infants in whom intracranial hemorrhage developed, birth trauma, as evidenced by severe bruising, was the only significant factor. |
