Outcome at early school age and adolescence after hypothermia-treated hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy: an observational, population-based study

Survivors without major neuromotor impairment have normal intelligence. The incidence of executive difficulties appears to be increased in this patient population. More subtle difficulties may go undetected at early school-age.
