Hemolysis releases extracellular hemoglobin (Hb) into the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), where it promotes oxidative stress, inflammation, and cytotoxicity. The endogenous Hb-scavenging protein haptoglobin (Hp) may mitigate Hb-mediated injury, but its capacity in the immature brain remains unclear. This study aimed to characterize Hb and Hp dynamics in the CSF of preterm infants with severe IVH and to evaluate the translational utility of a preterm rabbit glycerol-induced IVH model.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Fourteen infants with grade III IVH or periventricular hemorrhagic infarction were enrolled in a prospective study.
