Abstract

Objective: To investigate high risk factors and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) features in late preterm infants with severe white matter injury (WMI) associated with abnormal deep medullary veins (DMVs). Materials and Methods: Preterm infants with severe WMI, who were hospitalized in Shengjing Hospital from 1st January 2009 to 31st December 2018, were enrolled in this retrospective study. High risk factors and MRI characteristics of infants with abnormal DMVs were analyzed and compared with those of infants without DMV abnormalities. Results: A total of 2032 late preterm infants were examined by MRI; 71 cases (3.5%) had severe WMI and 15 of these (21.1%) had abnormal DMVs. The incidence of maternal diabetes was higher in infants with abnormal DMVs and neonatal convulsions were more likely (P < 0.05). The incidence of grade IV injury (P < 0.05), white matter periventricular cysts and thalamic injury (P < 0.01), cerebral venous sinus thrombus (P < 0.01) and germinal matrix/intraventricular hemorrhage (P < 0.05) were higher in infants with abnormal DMVs than in infants with normal DMVs. Conclusions: Congestion/thrombosis of DMVs may be an important cause of severe WMI in late preterm infants, especially in periventricular leukomalacia-like WMI. WMI with abnormal DMVs is more likely to lead to thalamic injury.

Attention Score in Context

Attention Score in Context

This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 4. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 12 January 2021.
All research outputs
#7,301,205
of 23,269,984 outputs
Outputs from Frontiers in Pediatrics
#1,286
of 6,259 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#168,057
of 475,121 outputs
Outputs of similar age from Frontiers in Pediatrics
#62
of 276 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 23,269,984 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 68th percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 6,259 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.5. This one has done well, scoring higher than 79% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 475,121 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 64% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 276 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 77% of its contemporaries.
