Abstract
This study attempted to identify within the first 48 hours of life those infants sustaining hypoxic-ischemic insults and destined to have neurodevelopmental abnormalities at one year of age. Neurological examination and cranial CT scan were quantitated to provide a post-asphyxia score and CT low-density index for each of 34 fullterm infants. The post-asphyxia score and CT infarction index were used to predict infants with normal and abnormal outcomes at one year of age, and both were valuable predictors of neurodevelopmental sequelae.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
