Retrospective analysis found lower hematocrit and plateletcrit in neonates with intraventricular hemorrhage, suggesting potential severity links.

Neonates with intraventricular hemorrhage showed significantly lower hematocrit levels on days two and three compared to those without it.
On the third day, plateletcrit levels were also significantly lower in patients with severe intraventricular hemorrhage.
This analysis included data from 200 patients, revealing important contrasts in hematocrit and plateletcrit values based on hemorrhage status.
The findings highlight the need to consider both hematocrit and plateletcrit values together when assessing intraventricular hemorrhage severity.

Çakır et al. (2025) studied this question.
