The combination of the a-EEG and the neurologic examination shortly after birth enhances the ability to identify high-risk infants and limits the number of infants who would be falsely identified compared with either evaluation alone.

There was a significant association between abnormalities in the neurologic examination and cytokine concentrations, with the highest cytokines concentrations observed in infants who developed HIE/seizures.

Brain hypothermia achieved through head or body cooling results in different brain temperature gradients. Alterations in systemic variables (ie, hypoxemia) alters brain temperature differently in these 2 modes of brain cooling. The mode of brain cooling may affect the efficacy of modest hypothermia as a neuroprotective therapy.
