Neurodevelopmental outcome of perinatal intracranial haemorrhage in patients born at term: A prospective study.

ABSTRACT:

Aim

To assess the neurological and neurodevelopmental outcome of infants born at term with perinatal intracranial haemorrhage (pICH) and examine the clinical and neuroimaging associations.

Method

A prospective, consecutive, single-center observational study of longitudinally followed children with pICH identified in the fetal or neonatal period (≤28 days of life) between January 2014 and November 2022. Neurodevelopmental outcome was rated using the Pediatric Stroke Outcome Measure (PSOM) and the modified Rankin Scale (mRS).

Results

Sixty-eight infants were included (67.6% diagnosed postnatally and 32.4% diagnosed antenatally). Intraventricular haemorrhage was the most common bleeding type (n = 43, 63.2%) and was more common in infants diagnosed prenatally (p = 0.004).
