%X Peri-intraventricular
hemorrhage is one of the main causes of neurological impairment in premature
newborns. </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">To control</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> their risk factors is necessary </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">in view

newborns, identify the risk factors and observe the frequencies of

This was an observational, analytical longitudinal </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> prospective study. The subjects inc</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">luded were newborns of gestational age less than
34 weeks who were admitted to two public hospitals between May and November
2015. To assess possible</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> associated factors, obstetric, perinatal </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> neonatal data were analyzed
(chorioamnionitis, antenatal corticosteroids, gestational age, newborn weight,
Apgar score at 1 and 5 minutes, resuscitation in the delivery room, surfactant
in the delivery room, newborn transferred from another hospital, respiratory
distress syndrome</span></span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">:</span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> RDS,
sepsis, umbilical vein catheterization, assisted ventilation, exogenous
surfactant in the Neonatal ICU, use of sodium bicarbonate, inotropic agents,
adrenaline, volume expanders </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">and</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> blood
products). The hospital outcomes studied were assisted ventilation
