Summary: | Objective Finding the characteristics and risk factors associated
with prognosis in children suffering from intracranial hemorrhage.
Methods This was a retrospective medical record review of chil-
dren (older than 1 month old) admitted with intracranial hemor-
rhage to the Department of Child Health the Sanglah Hospital,
Denpasar, during the period of January 1998 to December 2000.
Prognostic factors were identified by chi-square and multivariate
analysis with significance of p<0.05
Results There were 56 patients eligible for the study. Among them
were 35 (63%) males and 21 (27%) females. Forty-three (77%)
were less than one year of age, 40 (71%) without history of trauma
and the major clinical manifestation was paleness (89%). The most
common location was subdural bleeding, 21 patients (38%). Fac-
tors associated with prognosis was the bleeding location (p<0.05)
Conclusions Intracranial hemorrhage was more common in males
and in infants. The most common clinical manifestation was pale-
ness. Bleeding location was associated with prognosis |
