Pai VV, et al. - The proposition explored during this study was that intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in preterm infants was related to pre-pregnancy obesity and underweight due to an inflammatory intrauterine environment. Researchers analyzed infants born between 22 and 32 weeks’ gestation from 2007 to 2011. It was discovered that pre-pregnancy obesity served as a risk factor for IVH in preterm infants. Nevertheless, this link was possibly, largely, mediated through the effect of BMI on gestational age at delivery. Findings illustrated the complexity of the etiology of IVH and it was significant for comprehending the contributing maternal factors.
