Preterm intraventricular haemorrhage - Effects of extracellular haemoglobin
Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) is the most common brain lesion in preterm infants and is most commonly seen in the sickest children, with 15-20% of very preterm infants developing IVH. The mortality of infants with severe IVH is 20-50 % in the neonatal period and over 50 % of surviving infants …

Outcomes and risk factors of very low birth weight infants with intraventricular haemorrhage who received respiratory support in a middle income country neonatal unit
… Prematurity is a major risk factor for intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH). Premature infants often require respiratory support. There is little information on neonates with IVH who require respiratory support in low and middle income countries. Objective: To describe the characteristics …

Monitoring of cerebral oxygenation, cerebrovascular reactivity and circulatory function in preterm infants
… Deviations below MABPOPT were associated with intraventricular haemorrhage and mortality. iii) The complexity of brain and systemic signals was studied by using multi-scale entropy analysis. Most studies using cerebral NIRS or systemic measurements of blood flow use linear analysis; however, a …

The perinatal and obstetric outcomes of triplet conceptions at Groote Schuur Hospital in the five-year period: 1 January 2012 to 31 December 2016
… distress syndrome or hyaline membrane disease, intraventricular haemorrhage and necrotising enterocolitis. The secondary objective was to review maternal complications and outcomes, including anaemia, hyperemesis gravidarum, hypertensive disorders, gestational diabetes, preterm labour, …

Ventriculoperitoneal Shunt Failures At Red Cross War Memorial Children's Hospital
… 29.4%, Myelomeningocele 19.7% and Premature Intraventricular haemorrhage 14.1%. Orbis-sigma II(OSVII), Distal slit valves and Antibiotic impregnated catheters were used most frequently. Failure rates were highest in the revision group, 34.7% compared to 27.3% in index shunts. Conclusion VP …

Short-term outcomes of inborn vs out-born very low birth weight neonates (< 1500 g) in the Groote Schuur neonatal nursery
… infection (8.8% vs 23.4%, p <0.0001), severe intraventricular haemorrhage (3.7% vs 13.9%, p <0.0001) and chronic lung disease (5.3% vs 13.4%, p =0.003). The incidence of necrotising enterocolitis was similar between the two groups (5.9% vs 8.7%, p =0.227). 18.4% of inborns and 33.3% of …

Retinopathy of Prematurity in a cohort of neonates at Groote Schuur Hospital
… the occurrence of apnoea, early sepsis or severe intraventricular haemorrhage in infants with ROP compared to no ROP. On multivariate analysis, only gestational age was independently associated with ROP was gestational age (RR 0.85; 95% CI 95% 0.740 - 0.988; p=0.03). When gestational age was …

Electroencephalography of premature infants
… was 0.68 (0.54 – 0.80), while the presence of Intraventricular Haemorrhage (IVH) grade III/IV or cystic Periventricular Leucomalacia (cPVL) was 0.58 (0.41 – 0.75), (p=0.342). Conclusions: This research has utilised continuous conventional video-EEG of very preterm infants during the early …

AI-based analysis of cerebral oxygenation in preterm and term infants
… signals to predict brain injuries, such as intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants and hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in term infants. Our findings demonstrated that features extracted from PRDs significantly outperformed traditional threshold-based approaches in …
