School Performance of Preterm-Born Children After Intraventricular Hemorrhage.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) is a significant complication of preterm birth, affecting approximately 20% of preterm infants. Despite its prevalence, the effect of IVH beyond the impact of prematurity alone has been scarcely studied beyond early childhood, posing an important knowledge gap.

Objective
