CSF and serum osmolality, total protein, and glucose in human infants with PHH. A chart showing increased CSF osmolality in PHH (n = 7) compared to control (n = 12), low grade IVH (n = 7), and high grade IVH (n = 7) (p = 0.0006, < 0.0001, 0.0003 respectively; Tukey’s post-test ANOVA). B chart showing increased total protein concentration in HGIVH (n = 11) and PHH (n = 11) compared to control (n = 16) (p = 0.0009 and 0.0006 respectively Tukey’s post-test ANOVA) and LGIVH (n = 9) (p = 0.034 and 0.028 respectively Tukey’s post-test ANOVA). C chart showing decreased glucose in PHH (n = 5) compared to control (n = 12), LGIVH (n = 7), and HGIVH (n = 7) (p = 0.0002, 0.0047, and 0.041 respectively Tukey’s post-test ANOVA). D chart showing no change in serum calculated osmolality across all the groups (ANOVA summary p-value = 0.71) (n = 19 control, 9 LGIVH, 7 HGIVH, and 11 PHH). E chart showing no change in serum total protein across all the groups (ANOVA summary p-value = 0.11) (n = 5 control, 5 LGIVH, 5 HGIVH, and 4 PHH). F chart showing no change in serum glucose across all the groups (ANOVA summary p-value = 0.37) (n = 12 control, 7 LGIVH, 7 HGIVH, 5 PHH)
