Cerebellar haemorrhage and atrophy in infants born extremely preterm with intraventricular haemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To investigate the impact of cerebellar haemorrhage (CBH) and atrophy in infants born extremely preterm with intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH) on neurodevelopment at 2 years of age.

Method

This retrospective case-control study included infants born at less than 28 weeks' gestation with IVH over a 10-year period. CBH, along with the assessment of cerebellar size, using magnetic resonance imaging, were studied. The impact of injuries on neurodevelopmental outcome at 2 years' corrected age was conducted, using multivariable regression analysis for comprehensive evaluation.

Results

In a cohort of 103 patients, 69 (67.0%) showed CBH with a median grade of 1 (interquartile range = 0-3). At the corrected age of 2 years, CBH was significantly associated with impaired cog
