- Abstract
Hypoxic-ischemic injury (HII) is a major worldwide contributor of term neonatal mortality and long-term morbidity. At present, therapeutic hypothermia is the only therapy that has demonstrated efficacy in reducing severe disability or death in infants with moderate to severe encephalopathy. MRI and MRS performed during the first week of life are adequate to assess brain injury and offer prognosis. Patterns of injury will depend on the gestation age of the neonate, as well as the degree of hypotension., Competing Interests: Disclosures The authors have no disclosures., (Copyright © 2022 Elsevier Inc.
