Novel approaches in diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy
Perinatal asphyxia is one of a main cause of neonatal deaths and disability. In pediatric practice there is always a question what prognosis does this child have? And there is always not enough predictors. In clinical practice we usually use these methods to try to predict outcomes: EEG, amplitude-integrated EEG, ultrasound, CT, MRI. In modern reality then every hour is significant we need blood biomarker for quick evaluation of brain damage. Rapidity, availability and correlation with severity of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy are main characteristics for potential biomarker.
