    The study analyzed 22 neonates treated with therapeutic hypothermia for suspected hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE).

  • 2

    Final HIE classification revealed no evidence of HIE in 72.7% of patients, with varying stages of HIE in the remainder.

  • 3

    Lower bicarbonate levels were significantly associated with the presence of any-stage HIE compared to neonates without HIE.

  • 4

    Neonates with seizures had lower gestational age and more negative base excess values, indicating more severe metabolic acidosis.

  • 5

    The study found low concordance between cranial ultrasonography and MRI, with many neonates having abnormal MRI despite normal ultrasonography.
