Neurosonographic Findings in Infants with Rhesus Hemolytic Disease of Newborn: A Prospective Observational Study

Indian Pediatr. 2024 Mar 19:S097475591600614. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWe estimated the incidence of intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and/or periventricular leukomalacia/echogenicity (PVL/E) in Rhesus isoimmunized infants. Seventy-one infants underwent cranial ultrasound within the first 3 days of life or discharge, whichever was earlier. Of these, 27(38%) infants had IVH/ PVL/E. On multivariate analysis, lower gestational age (P = 0.035), small for gestational age [aOR (95% CI) 10.6 (1.9, 58.9)], and sepsis [aOR (95% CI) 4.5 (1.1, 18.4)] were ndependently associated with IVH/PVL.PMID:38517007
