ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the related risk factors in preterm infants with cerebral injury. Methods A total of 268 cases whose gestational age less than 36 weeks had cranial ultrasound scans between 0 to 7 days after birth from January 1, 2006 to October 31,2007, and their clinical data were reviewed. Results One hundred and thirty patients (48.5 %) were diagnosed cerebral injury, total incidence of intraventricular haemorrhge and periventricular leukomalacia were 43.3% (116/268) and 14.3% (38/268) respectively. The incidence of cerebral injury was correlated with low birth weight, prematurity, asphyxia, respiratory distress syndrome, apnea, respiratory failure, pulmonary haemorrhge, anemia, hypotension, hypoglycemia, infection, premature rupture of membrane, low gestaional age at birth and ventilation. Conclusion The incidence of preterm brain injury are related to many factors. Risk factors of cerebral injury should be prevented in clinical practice and cranial ultrasound scans are required for early diagnosis of preterm cerebral injury.
