Lactate Predicts Neurological Outcomes after Perinatal Asphyxia in Post-Hypothermia Era: A Prospective Cohort Study

Background: Neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is the most common cause of mortality and neurological disability in infancy after perinatal asphyxia. Reliable biomarkers to predict neurological outcomes of neonates after perinatal asphyxia are still not accessible in clinical practice. M...

Reliable biomarkers to predict neurological outcomes of neonates after perinatal asphyxia are still not accessible in clinical practice. Methods: A prospective cohort study enrolled neonates with perinatal asphyxia. Biochemical blood tests and cerebral Doppler ultrasound were measured within 6 h of age and at the 4th day old. Neurological outcomes were assessed at 1 year old. Results: Sixty-four neonates with perinatal asphyxia were enrolled.
