“…21,22 A study established that among LBW neonates, the associated complication was ICH. 23 The other risk factors for intraventricular hemorrhage were gestational age less than 34 weeks, male gender, complicated labor, birth asphyxia and low body temperature. 23 Being a single center study was one limitation of this study.…”

“…1 Among newborn babies having nonreassuring fetal status, the frequency of ICH has been recorded as 26% 2 while literature reports ICH associated mortality ranging between 0.5% to 22.4%. 3,4 Delay in the achievements of normal developmental milestones, hydrocephalus and cerebral palsy are the long-term outcomes of ICH. 4 As far as intracranial hemorrhage is concerned, the instrumental deliveries and the infants being delivered through cesarean section are likely to have higher rate than normally delivered infants but the neonates delivered through cesarean section before the start of labor have low rates which indicates that abnormal labor is frequently occurring risk factor for intracranial hemorrhage.…”

Objective: To determine the frequency of intracranial hemorrhage (ICH) in term neonates delivered with fetal distress. Study Design: Descriptive, Cross-sectional study. Setting: Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) attached with Department of Obstetrics & Gynecology, Sir Sadiq Abbasi Hospital, Bahawalpur, Pakistan. Period: August 2021 to February 2022. Material & Methods: A total of 300 term neonates with fetal distress were included. All the neonates who had pallor and or bulging anterior fontenelle were investigated with the help of CT scan brain (plain) and presence or absence of ICH was noted. Results: In a total of 300 neonates, 172 (57.3%) were male. The mean gestational age was 38.42 ± 1.53 weeks. The mean birth weight was 3.12 ± 0.89 kg. Asphyxia neonatorum was noted in 94 (31.3%) neonates. Birth trauma was reported among 98 (32.7%) neonates. The frequency of ICH in term neonates delivered with fetal distress was noted in 73 (24.3%) neonates. Conclusion: The frequency of intracranial hemorrhage in term neonates delivered with fetal distress is quite high.
