Does Severity of Brain Injury on Magnetic Resonance Imaging Predict Short-Term Outcome in Neonates Who Received Therapeutic Hypothermia?

· The NICHD pattern of brain injury on MRI predicts neurodevelopmental outcome following hypothermia treatment for neonatal HIE.. · LOS did not differ between the infants with and without MRI patterns of severe injury.. · The severity of brain injury as defined by the NICHD was not predictive of the LOS following therapeutic hypothermia..
