Cohort analysis reveals no link between delivery mode and severe intraventricular hemorrhage in very preterm infants, suggesting the need for better care practices.

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.
