Relação e comparação dos fatores peso ao nascer e idade gestacional com hemorragia peri-intraventricular

Abstract

The objective of this study is to determine which of the variables, birth weight and gestational age has a predominance of PIVH, in addition to the prevalence of the cerebral hemispheres. This is a retrospective, analytical and cross-sectional study, based on the tabulation of data from 155 medical records. From these, it was found that HPIV occurred in 61.9% on the right side. The results show us that when correlating gestational age with hemorrhage on the right, an inverse correlation was observed (r: -0.166, p: 0.04), in the different degrees of hemorrhage, and the lower the gestational age, the higher the prevalence of type II hemorrhage (r: -0.0224, p: 0.00). Regarding birth weight with peri-intraventricular hemorrhage on the right, an inverse correlation was observed (r: -0.194, p: 0.01), and the lower the birth weight, the greater the prevalence of PIVH on the right. Thus, it was concluded that the factors weight and gestational age are correlated with the presence of PIVH, and the persistence of this comorbidity frequently occurs on the right side.
