Answers:
Almost NIL.

PVL occurs most commonly in premature infants born at less than 32 weeks' gestation and less than 1500 g birth weight. Most infants have a history of cardiorespiratory problems, such as respiratory distress syndrome or pneumonia, in association with hypotension or patent ductus arteriosus.
