Long-term disability after neonatal encephalopathy in low-resource settings

Le résumé fourni par la source

Neonatal encephalopathy (NE), a “clinical syndrome of disturbed neurologic function in the first week after birth in an infant born at or beyond 35 weeks of gestation, manifested by an abnormal level of consciousness or seizures, often accompanied by difficulty with initiating and maintaining respiration and depression of tone and reflexes.” 1 is a major global burden, with an estimated 1.2 million cases each year. Infants with NE have high risk of mortality with serious morbidity in survivors, particularly for those born in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs). It is therefore important to know whether risks are improving… or not.
