The authors determined clinical and neuroimaging factors associated with the use of surgical CSF diversion among neonates with intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH), and describe variations in practice patterns across 4 large pediatric centers.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>The use of implanted temporizing devices and conversion to permanent shunts was examined in a consecutive sample of 110 neonates surgically treated for IVH related to prematurity from the 4 clinical centers of the Hydrocephalus Clinical Research Network (HCRN). Clinical, neuroimaging, and so-called processes of care factors were analyzed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Seventy-three (66%) of the patients underwent temporization procedures, including 50 ventricular reservoir and 23 subgaleal shunt placements. Center (p &lt; 0.001), increasing ventricular size (p = 0.04), and bradycardia (p = 0.07) were associated with the use of an implanted temporizing device, whereas apnea, occipitofrontal circumference (OFC), and fontanel assessments were not. Implanted temporizing devices were converted to permanent shunts in 65 (89%) of the 73 neonates. Only a full fontanel (p &lt; 0.001) and increased ventricular size (p = 0.002) were associated with conversion of the temporizing devices to permanent shunts, whereas center, OFCs, and clot characteristics were not.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>\n<jats:sec>\n<jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n<jats:p>Considerable center variability exists in neurosurgical approaches to temporization of IVH in prematurity within the HCRN; however, variation between centers is not seen with permanent shunting. Increasing ventricular size\u2014rather than classic clinical findings such as increasing OFCs\u2014represents the threshold for either temporization or shunting of CSF.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3171\/2012.1.peds11292","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,4,30]],"date-time":"2012-04-30T15:27:39Z","timestamp":1335799659000},"page":"473-481","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":54,"title":["Center effect and other factors influencing temporization and shunting of cerebrospinal fluid in preterm infants with intraventricular hemorrhage"],"prefix":"10.3171","volume":"9","author":[{"given":"Jay","family":"Riva-Cambrin","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Primary Children's Hospital, and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chevis N.","family":"Shannon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Section of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Division of Neurosurgery, Children's Hospital of Alabama, University of Alabama Birmingham, Alabama;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Richard","family":"Holubkov","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Pediatrics, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, Utah;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"William E.","family":"Whitehead","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Pediatric Neurosurgery, Department of Neurosurgery, Texas Children's Hospital, Baylor College of Medicine, Houston, Texas;"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Abhaya V.","family":"Kulkarni","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"James","family":"Drake","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Neurosurgery, Hospital for Sick Children, Toronto, Canada; and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Tamara D.","family":"Simon","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Departments of Pediatrics and"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Samuel R.","family":"Browd","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Neurosurgery, University of Washington\/Seattle Children's Hospital, Seattle, Washington"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"John R.
