Abstract

Data correlating dried blood spots (DBS) and plasma concentrations for neonatal biomarkers of brain injury are lacking. We hypothesized that candidate biomarker levels determined from DBS can serve as a reliable surrogate for plasma levels. In the context of a phase II multi-center trial evaluating erythropoietin for neuroprotection in neonatal encephalopathy (NE), DBS were collected at enrollment (
