Does mild hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy adversely affect neurodevelopmental outcome?

Journal of Perinatology volume 41, pages 901–904 (2021)Cite this article

Subjects

Prognosis.

How do the neurodevelopmental outcomes of children with mild hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) at birth compare with the neurodevelopmental outcomes at age 18–42 months of (1) healthy children born at term or near-term and (2) surviving children with moderate HIE who were treated with therapeutic hypothermia at birth?
