Dwuletnia ocena rozwoju noworodków urodzonych przedwcześnie i hospitalizowanych w ośrodku III stopnia referencji z rozpoznanym krwawieniem około- i dokomorowym II-IV stopnia

Short-term evaluation of preterm infants indicates the possibility of occurrence of cerebral palsy in children with II grade IVH. Neurodevelopment of children with III grade IVH is only slightly worse, as long as it is not accompanied by PVL. Prognosis for infants with IV grade IVH is poor in most of the cases and these children should be handled differently from infants with III grade IVH. Brain MRI in selected cases may improve prediction of neurological impairments in this population.
