Quality Reports - Children's Hospital of Wisconsin-Fox Valley

Severe intraventricular hemorrhage

Why we measure it - Intraventricular hemorrhage is bleeding inside or around the ventricles of the brain. IVH is most common in premature babies who weigh less than 1,500 grams (3 pounds, 4 ounces) at birth and those with more severe underlying medical complications. Development of severe IVH can be an important indicator of their long-term outcomes.
