IVH score
Intraventricular hematoma
Classification
Each lateral ventricle
| No blood: | 0 points |
| Less than 1/3 full: | 1 point |
| Between 1/3 and 2/3 full: | 2 points |
| More than 2/3 full: | 3 points |
3th and 4th ventricles
| No blood: | 0 points |
| Any blood: | 1 point |
Hydrocephalus
| No: | 0 points |
| Yes: | 1 point |
Interpretation
Calculation
IVH score = 3x (right lateral ventricle score + left lateral ventricle score + hydrocephalus score) + 3th ventricle score + 4th ventricle score
