Özet

Background: Intraventricular hemorrhage and posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus are common causes of neonatal morbidity and mortality among preterm and low-birth weight infants (PT-LBWIs). Clinical management of posthemorrhagic hydrocephalus (PHH) is difficult and not well standardized. In this study, we aimed to determine the incidence of hydrocephalus after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and the associated risk factors for ventriculoperitoneal (V-P) shunting in PT-LBWIs. We also wanted to identify the medical-care practices for these babies.
