- Abstract
This study attempted to identify within the first 48 hours of life those infants sustaining hypoxic-ischemic insults and destined to have neurodevelopmental abnormalities at one year of age. Neurological examination and cranial CT scan were quantitated to provide a post-asphyxia score and CT low-density index for each of 34 fullterm infants. The post-asphyxia score and CT infarction index were used to predict infants with normal and abnormal outcomes at one year of age, and both were valuable predictors of neurodevelopmental sequelae.
