The General Movements Assessment in Neonates With Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy.

Seizures were the clinical predictor most closely associated with abnormal findings on the General Movements Assessment. However, clinical markers of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy are not fully predictive of abnormal General Movements Assessment findings. Larger future studies are needed to evaluate the associations between the General Movements Assessment and childhood neurologic outcomes in patients with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy who received therapeutic hypothermia.
