"Complications"

Line 34:1 · "Complications" is under the wrong parent heading (found under "Treatment and prognosis").

There Is

suggestion

"There is a direct relation between prematurity, germinal matrix and thus the number of capillaries in this region: it reaches its peak at 25 weeks ⁶, at 32 weeks germinal matrix is only present at the caudothalamic groove. By 35-36 weeks gestation, the germinal matrix has essentially disappeared and thus the risk of haemorrhage is markedly reduced."

Line 16:4 · Don't start a sentence with 'There is'.

Parentheses

suggestion

"Prognosis depends on the extent of haemorrhage and the presence of hydrocephalus (see germinal matrix haemorrhage grading). Grade I and II haemorrhages have a good prognosis. Mortality rates are 3.1% (grade I), 7.8% (grade II), 21.3% (grade III), and 36.1% (grade IV) ⁵."

Line 32:85 · Use parentheses judiciously. There are at least 3 sets in this paragraph.

Semicolons

suggestion

"hypoxic-ischaemic brain injury: involves subcortical cerebral or basal ganglia injury; common in term babies"

Line 55:100 · Use semicolons judiciously.
