Infants with both IVH and WMI were more likely to have ↑ concentrations of CRP and IL-8 on days 1, 7, and 14, and ↑ SAA and TNF-α on 2 of these days. IVH should be viewed as 2 entities: with-w/o WMI. Each is associated with inflammation, but the combination has a stronger inflammatory signal than hemorrhage alone.
