Abstract
We studied the relationship between B administration and ICH in 53 infants with HMD. 27 had no ICH (Group I). 26 had ICH of whom 10 received B prior to the diagnosis of ICH (Group IIa) and 16 received B after ICH was diagnosed (Group IIb).
There were no significant differences between the groups in the level of serum sodium, osmolality, inborn/outborn ratio and age of admission to NICU.
We conclude that a direct relationship exists between ICH, perinatal asphyxia and prematurity. No correlation was found between B administration and ICH.
