Study Summary

Intraventricular hemorrhage remains the most frequent, severe neurological complication of prematurity, occurring in 25-30% of preterm infants. Post-hemorrhagic ventricular dilation (PHVD) occurs in 25-50% of those infants, with over half requiring ventriculoperitoneal shunts. When suboptimally untreated, PVHD results in a 3-4 fold increase in neurodevelopmental delay. Despite the lifelong impact of PHVD on quality of life, little research has been done over the past 20 years to improve patient outcomes. The CENTRAL HYPOTHESIS of this project is that early treatment of PHVD will reduce shunt-dependence and improve neurodevelopmental outcome in preterm infants.
