Neurodevelopmental evaluation of newborns who underwent hypothermia with a diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy based on the Bayley-III scale.

The time to start cooling is related to the neurodevelopmental outcomes of patients with HIE. The earlier cooling is started, the better the neurodevelopmental results. Despite therapeutic hypothermia, the neurodevelopmental development of infants may be adversely affected. These patients should be followed-up neurodevelopmentally for a long time.
