Autonomic Nervous System in Preterm Very Low Birth Weight Neonates with Intraventricular Hemorrhage
Conclusion HRV was significantly associated with IVH severity and neurodevelopmental outcome in extremely preterm neonates. HRV can distinguish extremely preterm neonates who subsequently had severe IVH from those who had no/low-grade IVH. HRV may identify extremely preterm neonates needing adjuvant neuroprotective interventions. These findings warrant further investigation in a larger population of extremely preterm neonates.
