Early predictors of cognition in children cooled for neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy

婴儿出生后的窒息可减少死亡和脑瘫，但约三分之一的婴儿在学龄时有认知障碍。有针对性的早期干预需要早期认知表现的早期标记。本研究将确定早期运动与后期认知之间的关系，并检查连续脑电图和高级脑MRI与早期运动和早期社会认知能力的关联。

Cooling infants after birth asphyxia reduces death and cerebral palsy however around 1/3 of cooled infants have cognitive impairment at school-age. Early markers of later cognitive performance are needed for targeted early interventions. This study will determine relations between early movement and later cognition and examine the association of serial EEG and advanced brain MRI with early movement and early social cognitive ability in a prospective cohort of cooled infants.
