PEDI-REAVASC Resonance Imaging of Infants With Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy After Hypothermia Treatment.

This study is a prospective, observational, single-center study to assess the correlation between rs-fMRI measures and clinical measures of standard MRI, NIRS, EEG and clinical scores. The target population was neonates with HIE referred to MRI after hypothermia treatment, which was initiated within 6 hours of birth, continued for 72 hours and followed by a slow rewarming period of 6-12 hours. A one-year clinical and imaging follow-up is planned. As the aim of the present study is to assess the predictiveness of the outcome one year after the HIE event, no follow-up is planned.
