In clinical practice, cerebral MRI in newborns is highly predictive of neurodevelopmental outcome after therapeutic hypothermia.
CONCLUSIONS: In this clinical cohort, fewer children had adverse neurodevelopment after TH compared to the TH trials. However, half the children who had an MRI predictive of adverse ND outcome had the most severe form of cerebral palsy. In this cohort, cerebral MRI was found to be highly predictive of neurodevelopmental outcome.
