Low grade intraventricular-periventricular hemorrhage (IV-PVH) is a common neurologic morbidity among extremely low gestational age (ELGA, < 27 weeks gestation) neonates yet the outcomes associated with this morbidity are poorly understood. We sought to determine the effect of low grade IV-PVH on neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18-22 months corrected age using a three year cohort of a large multicenter database. Mixed effects regression modeling was utilized to account for potential confounders including gestational age, gender, race/ethnicity, chorioamnionitis, antenatal and/or postnatal steroids, high frequency ventilation, sepsis, and patent ductus arteriosus, as well as center differences. There were no significant differences in unadjusted or adjusted motor, cognitive, language, or composite mild or moderate-severe neurodevelopmental impairment outcomes when comparing ELGA infants with low grade IV-PVH to ELGA infants without evidence of IV-PVH on cranial ultrasound.
