Serial cytokine alterations and abnormal neuroimaging in newborn infants with encephalopathy

Aim Inflammatory cytokines may play a role in the final common pathway in the pathogenesis of hypoxic‐ischaemic injury in experimental models. We aimed to profile the systemic pro‐and anti‐inflammatory response over the first week of life in term infants at risk of neonatal encephalopathy. Method In a tertiary referral university neonatal intensive care unit, serial blood samples were analysed from 41 term infants (requiring resuscitation at...
