Neurodevelopmental Outcome Following Whole Body Cooling for Perinatal Asphyxia.

This follow-up study conducted on children who underwent therapeutic cooling for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, showed normal neurodevelopmental outcome with normal milestones and normal developmental quotient in a minimum of 60% of children at 18-24 months of age. This study shows comparable neurodevelopmental outcome in infants who underwent cooling in a resource poor setting, when compared with existing literature.
