Abstract:
Objective To explore the role of anterior horn index (AHI) in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) outcome after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and the correlation factors of IVH in preterm infants.Methods We selected 55 preterm infants with IVH(Ⅱ-Ⅳ degree) confirmed by MRI as case group,and 55 preterm infants with normal MRI as control group,all the cases were admitted in neonatal medical wards in our hospital from January 2009 to September 2011.Then 30 infants of case group were scaned for the second time,to see if they had posthemorrhagic ventricular dilatation (PHVD) and compare the AHI with the last time MRI,and analysis the related factors associated with IVH in preterm infants.Results MRI results:9 infants had PHVD,and the AHI rised (0.36 ± 0.05 v s 0.46 ± 0.06,P ＜ 0.01);21 infants didn't have PHVD,and the AHI decreased (0.31 ± 0.02 vs 0.30 ± 0.02,P ＜ 0.01).Logistic regression analysis:vaginal delivery,use of pulmonary surfactant,mechanical ventrilator care were associated with IVH (P ＜0.05).Conclusion AHI can be used for judging PHVD in preterm infants with IVH.Preterm infants with IVH,especially grade Ⅱ should be monitored AHI.Vaginal delivery and mechanical ventrilator may be risk factor of IVH in preterm infants,while use of pulmonary surfactant may a protective factor of IVH.
