Therapeutic Hypothermia in Neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy: Electrographic Seizures and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Evidence of Injury

To evaluate the electrographic seizure burden in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) treated with or without therapeutic hypothermia and stratified results by severity of HIE and severity of injury as assessed by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).Between 2007 and 2011, video-electroencephalography (EEG) monitoring was initiated in neonates with moderate to severe HIE. Seizure burden (in seconds) was calculated, and brain MRI scans...
