Contributions of authors

Andrew Whitelaw (AW) performed the original literature search, extracted data, and conducted the original Cochrane Review (Whitelaw 2001a). Yolanda Montagne, former Cochrane Neonatal Trials Search Coordinator, updated the search in 2009 and AW screened articles for potential inclusion. For this update, Richard Lee‐Kelland (RLK) updated the literature search, text, and analyses, and included a new analysis of outcomes 1.6 and 1.7. AW reviewed the updated search, text, and analyses.

Repeated lumbar or ventricular punctures in newborns with intraventricular hemorrhage

Review

https://doi.org/10.1002/14651858.CD000216

Differences between protocol and review

We added the methodology and plan for the 'Summary of findings' tables and GRADE recommendations, which were not in the original protocol or previous version of the review (Whitelaw 1998; Whitelaw 2001a).

For the 2016 review update, we did not include VPS or placement of ventricular reservoir as part of outcome 1.1 acquiring permanent shunt, or outcome 1.6 death or shunt, as the placement of a reservoir is a much milder outcome than a shunt.

We combined the outcomes of death and shunt as a new outcome: outcome 1.6 death or shunt.

Finally, we added a new outcome: outcome 1.7 presence of CSF infection before surgery. CSF infection (meningitis/ventriculitis) is a serious adverse outcome and repeated lumbar or ventricular punctures in preterm infants carries a theoretical risk of introducing infection.

Outcome

El uso y la enseñanza del modelo PICO están muy extendidos en el ámbito de la atención sanitaria basada en la evidencia para formular preguntas y estrategias de búsqueda y para caracterizar estudios o metanálisis clínicos. PICO son las siglas en inglés de cuatro posibles componentes de una pregunta de investigación: paciente, población o problema; intervención; comparación; desenlace (outcome).

Summary of findings for the main comparison. Repeated lumbar or ventricular punctures compared to conservative treatment in newborns with intraventricular haemorrhage

Repeated lumbar or ventricular punctures compared to conservative management for infants with intraventricular haemorrhage (IVH)

Population: preterm infants less than three months of age with either: a) IVH demonstrated by ultrasound or computed tomography (CT) scan; or b) infants with IVH followed by progressive ventricular dilatation.

Settings: neonatal intensive care units.

Intervention: serial lumbar puncture, ventricular puncture, or tapping from a subcutaneous reservoir.

Comparison: conservative management.

*The risk in the intervention group (and its 95% CI) is based on the assumed risk in the comparison group and the relative effect of the intervention (and its 95% CI).
Abbreviations: CI: confidence interval; CSF: cerebrospinal fluid; CT: computed tomography; IVH: intraventricular haemorrhage; RCT: randomised controlled trial; RR: risk ratio.

GRADE Working Group grades of evidence
High quality: we are very confident that the true effect lies close to that of the estimate of the effect.
Moderate quality: we are moderately confident in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be close to the estimate of the effect, but there is a possibility that it is substantially different.
Low quality: our confidence in the effect estimate is limited: The true effect may be substantially different from the estimate of the effect.
Very low quality: we have very little confidence in the effect estimate: The true effect is likely to be substantially different from the estimate of effect.

1Downgraded by 1 as Mantovani 1980 used an alternation method for random sequence generation.
2Downgraded by 1 due to imprecision, which is present because the width of the CI is consistent with both important benefit and harm.
3Downgraded by 1 due to inconsistency between studies. Dykes 1989 reported no cases of CSF infection. Ventriculomegaly 1990 reported infection in 10/157 cases.
