Observational analysis uncovered associations between intraventricular hemorrhage and neurodevelopment in preterm infants, suggesting long-term implications.
( JAMA Network Open . 2025;8(1):e2452883. doi: 10.1001/jamanetworkopen.2024.52883) Intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), a condition involving bleeding into the brain’s ventricular system, is a serious concern among infants born very preterm. Historically, severe IVH (grades 3 and 4) has been associated with increased risks of neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI), yet the full extent of long-term consequences, especially for milder cases (grades 1 and 2), remains unclear. The study aims to understand trends in IVH diagnosis and the association of IVH with survival and NDI at 2 years of age in a contemporary population of extremely preterm infants.
