Papile Grade (Germinal Matrix / IVH)
The Papile grading of germinal matrix / intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) in the preterm newborn, by the extent of hemorrhage on cranial imaging, grades I/II/III/IV.
Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.
Example
- Papile grade
- III - IVH with ventricular dilatation
Result: Papile grade III: intraventricular hemorrhage with ventricular dilatation.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Grade I
- Hemorrhage confined to the germinal matrix (subependymal).
- Grade II
- Intraventricular hemorrhage without ventricular dilatation.
- Grade III
- Intraventricular hemorrhage with ventricular dilatation.
- Grade IV
- Intraventricular hemorrhage with parenchymal extension.
What you enter
- Papile grade
