International Variation and Trends of Intraventricular Hemorrhage in Very Preterm Infants
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Introduction: We aimed to investigate international variation in gestational age (GA) specific severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) rates, among infants of <30 weeks' GA from the neonatal networks of 11 high-income countries/region. METHODS: Retrospective cohort study of outcomes of grade 3/4 IVH rates and composite of g3/4 IVH or death in GA groups of 22-23, 24-25, 26-27, and 28-29 weeks infants admitted to networks of Australia and New Zealand, Canada, Finland, Israel, Italy (Tuscany), Japan, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, and the UK. Their risk adjusted trends across 3 epochs (2007-11, 2012-15, and 2016-19) were also evaluated. RESULTS: Outcomes of 165,329 infants (median GA 27 weeks, birthweight 950 g) were analyzed. Overall, the lowest grade 3/4 IVH rate was observed in Japan (6.4%) and the highest in Israel (16.1%). The overall gestation-specific rate of IVH grade 3/4 were 25.8%, 18.6%, 9.0%, and 3.8% and composite outcome of grade 3/4 IVH/death rates 52.2%, 33.6%, 15.6%, and 6.7% for the 22-23, 24-25, 26-27, and 28-29 weeks' GA groups, respectively. These inter-network variations were greater at lower GA. In epoch comparisons, almost all networks showed significant decreases in GA specific composite outcome rates, particularly in the 26-27 week' GA group. Japan and Canada demonstrated significant decreases in each GA group while Spain demonstrated significant decreases in each GA group except for 22-23 weeks' gestation. CONCLUSIONS: Rates of grade 3/4 IVH and composite outcome rates varied internationally and have decreased over time. Identification of the driving factors behind variations may allow for opportunities for practice review and improvement. .

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
