Retrospective case-control study identifies key predictors of death and neurodevelopmental impairment in neonates, suggesting early intervention strategies.
Key Points
A prognostic model with a total score ≥4 predicts adverse outcomes in neonates with HIE, indicating significant risk factors.
Key predictors include aEEG abnormalities, Thompson scores ≥12, and resuscitation details, enhancing early risk assessment.
The model achieved a sensitivity of 70.4% and specificity of 90.4%, supporting informed clinical decisions before TH initiation.
Logistic regression analysis reveals important clinical parameters that can significantly guide neonatal management.
