Antenatal Phenobarbital Therapy and Neonatal Outcome I: Effect on Intracranial Hemorrhage

Abstract

Antenatal PB therapy results in a significant decrease in moderate and severe ICH in infants born at less than 35 weeks' gestation. Antenatal PB therapy also resulted in a decrease in the incidence of all grades of ICH in infants weighing less than 1250 g and infants born of multiple gestations.
