Objective:
To investigate the correlation of early incubator temperature fluctuation on intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in very/extremely-low birth weight infants (E/VLBW).
Methods:
From July 2015 to September 2016, 270 patients of hospitalized E/VLBW were included in this study. Temperature changes including incubator temperature and abdominal temperature within 72 hours after admission and routine clinical data were collected,the E/VLBW were divided into IVH group and non-IVH group, as well as the occurrence and grading of IVH. Chi-square test, t test and nonparametric test and logistic regression analysis were used to explore the effect of early incubator temperature fluctuations in E/VLBW on IVH.
Results:
Of the 270 V/ELBW studied, the incidence of IVH was 24.4% (66/270) , severe IVH(grade Ⅲ and Ⅳ) was 5.2% (14/270) . Univariate analysis showed that in addition to common IVH risk factors such as gestational age, body weight, 1/5 min Apgar score, sex, delivery, hyperglycemia, prenatal steroid and mechanical ventilation, fluctuations of body temperature and incubator temperature were relevant for IVH in E/VLBW (
