We aimed to examine whether the rates of severe intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) or death vary among preterm infants receiving UVCs compared to PICCs. METHODS: This randomized controlled trial included preterm infants\u200a&lt;\u200a30 weeks gestation assigned after birth to either UVC placement group or PICC group. RESULTS: A total of 233 preterm infants (117 infants in UVC group, 116 infants in PICC group) were randomized and collected data was available for intention-to-treat analysis. There were no differences in baseline population characteristics. Severe IVH occurred in 16 infants (13.6%) in the UVC group and 11(9.5%) in the PICC group (risk difference [RD], 4.1% [5% CI, \u20134 to 12.3]; P\u200a=\u200a0.42). The incidence of death before 28 days of life did not differ significantly between groups (10 [8.5% ] in UVC vs 6 [5.1%] in PICC; RD, 3.4% [95% CI, \u20133.0 to 9.84]; P\u200a=\u200a0.44). Seventeen percent (20\/117) of the UVC group died or developed severe IVH compared with 12% (14\/116) of the PICC group (risk difference, 5% [95% CI, \u20134.01 \u201314.06]; P\u200a=\u200a0.36). The incidence of necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC) was significantly higher in the UVC group infants than in the PICC group infants (7.7% vs. 1.7%); p\u200a=\u200a0.03. CONCLUSIONS: The incidence of severe IVH or death did not differ significantly among preterm m infants\u200a&lt;\u200a30 weeks gestation subjected to UVC or PICC placement. Early inotropic support was a significant risk factor for the development of severe IVH. UVC maybe an additional risk factor for the development of NEC, but further research is required to validate this finding.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3233\/npm-221126","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,21]],"date-time":"2023-04-21T13:01:05Z","timestamp":1682082065000},"page":"247-255","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Association
