The association between mode of delivery and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in very preterm infants

Key Points

The aim is to investigate whether the mode of delivery influences the occurrence of severe intraventricular hemorrhage in very preterm infants.
Cohort analysis of very and extremely preterm infants
Comparison of incidence of severe IVH between delivery modes
Evaluation of pre-, peri-, and postnatal factors influencing outcomes
No significant association found between mode of delivery and severe IVH
Findings do not support cesarean sections as a preventive technique for severe IVH
Emphasis placed on improving overall care practices for better infant outcomes

Abstract

In this cohort of very and extremely preterm infants, there was no significant association between the incidence of severe IVH and mode of delivery. These findings do not support cesarean sections as a preventive measure for sIVH and highlight the importance of optimizing pre-, peri-, and postnatal factors that impact haemodynamic stability.
