Intraventricular hemorrhage profile in very low birth weight preterm infants (< 1000 g and ≥ 1000 g) at a tertiary center in São Paulo State over a decade

IVH is frequent and severe, with a high mortality rate in VLBW infants, especially in those < 1000 g. Several risk factors for IVH are potentially preventable and most of them reflect the role of hemodynamic instability in the occurrence of IVH. These results can guide obstetricians and neonatologists in the implementation of good care practices.
