Abstract

Aim: Intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) and periventricular leukomalacia (PVL) in preterm infants are associated with an increased risk of long-term neurodevelopmental impairments (NDI) and cerebral palsy (CP). However, little is known about their impact on early neurodevelopmental outcomes despite increasing evidence highlighting the feasibility and importance of early NDI/CP diagnosis. We aimed to determine the early neurodevelopmental outcomes of preterm infants with IVH and PVL.

Methods: This was a retrospective single-centre cohort study of preterm infants born at <29 weeks gestation or <1000 g birth weight who attended an Early Neurodevelopment Clinic at 3 to 4 months of corrected age. Primary outcomes of early NDI and CP/high-risk CP diagnoses based on Prechtl's General Movements Assessment and the Hammersmith Infant Neurological Examination were compared between infants without IVH and infants with mild IVH (grades I-II), severe IVH (grades III-IV), and severe brain injury (SBI; severe IVH or cystic PVL).

Results: Of 313 infants, 52.1% (n = 163), 41.2% (n = 129), 6.7% (n = 21) and 8.6% (n = 27) had no IVH, mild IVH, severe IVH and SBI, respectively. The adjusted odds of early CP/high-risk CP diagnosis were significantly higher in infants with severe IVH (aOR 6.07, 95% CI 1.50-24.50) and SBI (aOR 15.28, 95% CI 3.70-63), but not in those with mild IVH (aOR 1.24, 95% CI 0.49-3.10). However, the adjusted odds of any early NDI were similar across groups.

Conclusion: Preterm infants with severe IVH and SBI are at increased risk of early CP/high-risk of CP diagnosis at 3 to 4 months of corrected age.

患有脑室内出血和脑室周围白质异常的早产儿的早期神经发育结果。

目的：早产儿脑室内出血（IVH）和脑室周围白质异常（PVL）与长期神经发育障碍（NDI）和脑瘫（CP）的风险增加有关。然而，尽管越来越多的证据强调了早期 NDI/CP 诊断的可行性和重要性，但人们对它们对早期神经发育结果的影响却知之甚少。我们旨在确定 IVH 和 PVL 早产儿的早期神经发育结局：方法：这是一项针对早产儿的回顾性单中心队列研究：在313名婴儿中，52.1%（n = 163）、41.2%（n = 129）、6.7%（n = 21）和8.6%（n = 27）的婴儿无IVH、轻度IVH、重度IVH和SBI。在重度 IVH（aOR 6.07，95% CI 1.50-24.50）和 SBI（aOR 15.28，95% CI 3.70-63）的婴儿中，早期诊断出 CP/高危 CP 的调整后几率明显较高，但在轻度 IVH 的婴儿中却不明显（aOR 1.24，95% CI 0.49-3.10）。然而，各组婴儿发生任何早期 NDI 的调整后几率相似：结论：患有重度IVH和SBI的早产儿在3-4个月矫正年龄时被诊断为早期CP/高危CP的风险增加。
