OBJECTIVE: To determine perinatal risk factors for Massive pulmonary hemorrhage (MPH) and MPH-caused mortality to guide clinicians in implementing preventive measures at the beginning of life for improving the survival of very low birth weight infant (VLBWIs).

STUDY DESIGN: A total of 13,826 VLBWIs born between 2013 and 2020 in the Korean Neonatal Network database were included.

RESULTS: MPH occurred in 870 (6.3 %) VLBWIs. Among infants with MPH, 162 (18.6 %) VLBWIs died due to MPH. In the multivariate logistic regression analysis, independent risk factors for MPH were identified as small for gestational age, multiple gestation, high CRIB-II score, use of surfactant, and symptomatic patent ductus arteriosus (sPDA) in VLBIWs. Independent risk factors for MPH-caused mortality were identified as multiple gestation in VLBWIs. Receiving a complete course of antenatal corticosteroids (ACS) was found to be a significant independent protective factor for MPH-caused mortality in VLBWIs.

CONCLUSION: Proactive managements for reducing unnecessary use of pulmonary surfactant and for decreasing the risk of sPDA at the beginning of life could be recommended as preventive strategies to reduce the risk of MPH in extremely preterm infants. ACS therapy is highly recommended for women with a high likelihood of giving birth preterm to reduce the risk of mortality caused by MPH.
