IVH rates in infants <29w increasing from 2013 ->2019

[Stefan Johansson]

This is a very interesting publication from the UK, about IVH rates in infants born <29 weeks from 2013 through 2019.

Rates are increasing over time, findings along the lines of other studies showing that outcomes does not improve much despite all work we do to change things for the better  

 

Would be great to hear yout thoughts about the paper but also how you aim to reduce IVH risks / like IVH prevention tool kits etc

This other article got me thinking too...

 

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamapediatrics/fullarticle/2828319#:~:text=Most IVH occurs during the,typically unknown in individual events.&text=A 2014 meta-analysis found,weighing 1500 g or less.

It also shows pretty much the same rates, but IVH appearing later.
