PREDICTORS OF HYPOXIC-ISCHEMIC ENCEPHALOPATHY SEVERITY IN ASPHYXIATED NEONATES: A PROSPECTIVE COHORT STUDY

Abstract

Background: Perinatal asphyxia remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality among neonates, often leading to hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and myocardial injury. Understanding the predictors and markers of these conditions is crucial for improving clinical management and outcomes.
