Abstract
CONTEXT: Preterm brain injuries are common; neurodevelopmental outcomes following contemporary neonatal care are continually evolving. OBJECTIVE: To systematically review and meta-analyze neurodevelopmental outcomes among preterm infants after intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) and white matter injury (WMI). DATA SOURCES: Published and gray literature were searched across 10 databases between 2000 and 2021. STUDY SELECTION: Observational studies reporting 3-year neurodevelopmental outcomes for preterm infants with IVH or WMI compared with preterm infants without injury. DATA EXTRACTION: Study characteristics, population characteristics, and outcome data were extracted. RESULTS: Thirty eight studies were included. There was an increased adjusted risk of moderate-severe neurodevelopmental impairment after IVH grade 1 to 2 (adjusted odds ratio 1.35 [95% confidence interval 1.05-1.75]) and IVH grade 3 to 4 (adjusted odds ratio 4.26 [3.25-5.59]). Children with IVH grade 1 to 2 had higher risks of cerebral palsy (odds ratio [OR] 1.76 [1.39-2.24]), cognitive (OR 1.79 [1.09-2.95]), hearing (OR 1.83 [1.03-3.24]), and visual impairment (OR 1.77 [1.08-2.9]). Children with IVH grade 3 to 4 had markedly higher risks of cerebral palsy (OR 4.98 [4.13-6.00]), motor (OR 2.7 [1.52-4.8]), cognitive (OR 2.3 [1.67-3.15]), hearing (OR 2.44 [1.42-4.2]), and visual impairment (OR 5.42 [2.77-10.58]). Children with WMI had much higher risks of cerebral palsy (OR 14.91 [7.3-30.46]), motor (OR 5.3 [3-9.36]), and cognitive impairment (OR 3.48 [2.18-5.53]). LIMITATIONS: Heterogeneity of outcome data. CONCLUSIONS: Mild IVH, severe IVH, and WMI are associated with adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes. Utilization of core outcome sets and availability of open-access study data would improve our understanding of the nuances of these outcomes.
