IntraventricularHemorrhage(IVH)

Definition/Classification

• Bleeding into the brain’s ventricular system – thought to arise from changes in perfusion of delicate cellular structures augmented by the immaturity of cerebral perfusion regulation

• The more premature the baby, the higher the risk

• Historically classified as Grade 1 – 4 IVH

Grades0,1&2IVH‐ Outcomes

• All VLBW infants (<1250 g) are at risk of long term developmental delays (even if no IVH)

• Grade 1 & 2 IVH have varying reports of long term outcomes in the literature – from slight increase risk to no increase risk

• Multicenter study compared 99 infants with Grade 1 and 2 IVH with 291 that had no evidence of IVH

• At 18 years of age no significant difference in intelligence, tests of achievement or problem behaviors

Wy et al. J Perinatol. 2015 Jul;35(7):511‐5. doi: 10.1038/jp.2014.244. Epub 2015 Feb 5

Grade3– 4IVHOutcomes

• Several cohort studies following outcomes of infants found to have Grade 3 and 4 IVH

• Much more likely to develop post hemorrhagic hydrocephalus (and have shunt placement)

• Shunt placement does not appear to independently predict poorer NDI

• Higher chance of CP, cognitive, visual, auditory impairment –Most studies from 40 ‐90% [consistently higher with grade 4]

ROP– DefinitionsandClassification

• Abnormal growth of the retinal blood vessels after preterm birth

• Zone – How far the vessels have grown • Stage 1 – increased branching of newly formed blood vessels forming a line

• Stage 2 – rapid growth of new vessels leading to a ridge• Stage 3 – severely abnormal vessel growth with fibrous tissue

• Stage 4 – Partial retinal detachment

• Stage 5 – Complete retinal detachment

• Plus disease – increase in tortuosity of the new blood vessels – a concerning sign for speed of growth

ROPLongtermoutcomes

• Important cause of blindness – 400‐600 infants per year in the United States

• Monitored closely in the NICU (and sometimes after discharge –until fully vascularized)

• If reach “threshold”, risk of blindness is high and laser treatment is indicated 

• VLBW infants are also at increased risk of strabismus, myopia and amblyopia – Recommend screening by an ophthalmologist at 9‐12 months

SocioeconomicStatus

• EPIPAGE study is one of the largest cohorts followed – 2500 French babies 22 – 32 weeks

• Data until age 5 on CP and cognitive function

• Examined medical and social risks for mild and severe disabilities

• Parents with low SES was the MAIN predictor for mild cognitive deficiency (3.4 times more likely than those with high SES)

• Cerebral lesions (IVH, PVL) were the main predictor for severe disabilities along with low SES (2.6 times more likely than high SES)

EPIPAGE – Beaino et al.  Acta Pædiatrica 2011

ApneaofPrematurity

• Up to 85% of infants born <34 weeks have apnea spells attributed to apnea of prematurity (diagnosis of exclusion)

• CAP trial – Well designed RCT• Caffeine vs. placebo

• Useful for successful extubation

• Useful to decrease apnea episodes

• No harmful effects on neurodevelopmental outcome (to school age)

• No studies have examined use past 34 weeks PCA

• 10% of infants with apnea of prematurity will continue to have apnea after 34 weeks

• Recommended to discuss length of use at time of discharge

• Length of use depends on the indication for use• Apnea of prematurity rarely occurs after 43 weeks PCA

• Risk of SIDS is very low after 6 months

• Risk of entanglement and strangulation by the wires increased after they begin to roll

• Generally accepted that after 6‐8 weeks of no events should discontinue use

• Majority of Calcium and Phosphorous accumulation occurs in the third trimester

• Vitamin D (deficiency) also plays a role

• Furosemide use

• Corticosteroid use

• Concurrent illness

• Calcium and phosphorous supplementation

• In most cases nutrient enriched formula contains enough to reach higher RDI

• Can supplement in a similar way to Na/K

• Vitamin D supplementation also recommended

VulnerableChildSyndrome

• Parents of children with preterm infants often perceive their infants as medically vulnerable

• High parental perception of child vulnerability is associated with disproportionately high health care utilization

• Has also been linked to poorer health care outcomes

• Mothers with high anxiety at time of discharge are more likely to have higher perceptions of vulnerability

• Small studies showing targeted behavioral therapy for mothers early on are promising for decreasing perceptions of vulnerability

ImportanceofHumanMilk

Human milk is the gold standard of which all formulas are based

Universally recommended over formula

Research shows that provider encouragement of human milk is effective regardless of social and ethnic background

Studies show that parents will decide to provide breastmilk almost immediately after learning how critical breastmilk is in the management of the NICU infant

Meier et al.  Clinics in Perinatology 2010; 37: 217‐245

FeedingthePretermInfant

Small studies show that preterm infant fed exclusively unfortified EBM at discharge may have nutritional deficiencies

Decreased bone mineral content at 6 months corrected age

Lower calcium, protein and phosphorus intake

Schanler found decreased BMC 1 year postdischarge.

Shah et al. Pediatric Clinics of North America 2009; 56: 1069‐1083Schanler et al. Pediatric Research 1992; 6: 583‐586

FeedingthePretermInfant

Fortification can be achieved by adding enriched formula powder to EBM or substituting a number of feeds with enriched formula

Fortification of at least half of the milk for 12 weeks after hospital discharge may be an effective strategy in addressing early discharge nutrient deficits and poor growth.

FeedingthePretermInfant

No studies have examined the impact on long‐term health outcomes of supplementation of human milk with formula

Studies with term healthy infants show that higher IQ scores and protection from infections, eczema, and adult‐onset morbidities are dependent on a dose‐response manner with human milk

Meier et al.  Clinics in Perinatology 2010; 37: 217‐24

FeedingthePretermInfant

ESPGHAN Committee on Nutrition (2006) suggest nutrient‐enriched formula to term‐corrected age and even 52 weeks post‐conception among infants with less than normal weight for post‐conceptional age

Aggett PJ et al (2006) J Pediatr Gastroenterol Nutr 42(5):596‐603. 

EnrichedFormulas

Enriched formulas may improve short‐term growth parameters in premature infants but have not been shown to improve long‐term growth or development

However many studies are limited by the preterm infants at most nutritional risk are underrepresented or excluded.
