Placental abruption and risk for intraventricular hemorrhage in very low birth weight infants: the United States national inpatient database Mohsen A A Farghaly 1 2, Hany F Aziz 3, Subhash Puthuraya 3, Alshimaa Abdalla 3, Hany Aly # 3, Mohamed A Mohamed # 3 Affiliations PMID: 38811756 DOI: 10.1038/s41372-024-02017-y Abstract Objective: To examine the association of placental abruption with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very low birth weight (VLBW) infants. Methods: We examined the National Inpatient Sample (NIS) datasets. Preterm infants <1500 g birth weight (BW) were included. The odds ratios (OR) of developing IVH and severe IVH in association with placental abruption were calculated. Adjusted OR (aOR) were calculated using logistic regression models. Results: The study included 113,445 VLBW infants. [...]

Methods: This retrospective study included neonates of gestational age ≥36 weeks with a diagnosis of HIE and undergoing TH between January 2014 and December 2021. Patients were included if they received at least 6 hours of continuous sedation with dexmedetomidine. [...]
