The National Inpatient Sample and its pediatrics version are annually collected databases for inpatient admissions from &amp;gt;1000 hospitals across the United States. We included all very low birth weight (VLBW) infants (birth weight [BW] of &amp;lt;1500 g) and excluded infants with major congenital anomalies. VLBW infants with IVH or PVL were identified by using International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision, diagnostic codes. We analyzed the data by using \u03c72 and Fisher's exact tests to calculate odds ratios (ORs) and logistic regression analysis to control for possible confounders.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>RESULTS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>The data included 104 847 VLBW infants. With controlling for significant confounders, IVH was associated with male gender (15.9% vs 13.6%; adjusted OR [AOR]: 1.15 [95% confidence interval: 1.11\u20131.19]; P &amp;lt; .001). More boys than girls had severe IVH (38% vs 32.7%; AOR: 1.18 [95% confidence interval: 1.06\u20131.32]; P &amp;lt; .004). The increased rates of IVH and severe IVH in boys were significant in the BW subgroups of &amp;lt;1000 g and 1000 to 1499 g. The association of male gender with IVH and severe IVH was more significant in infants of 1000 to 1499 g (AOR: 1.19 vs 1.14; P = .006). The incidence of PVL in VLBW infants was 0.41%, and rates did not differ between genders (0.38% vs 0.43%; P = .42).<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title><jats:p>Compared with girls, VLBW male newborns are at greater risk to develop IVH and severe IVH but not PVL.
