Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the relationship between the place of birth (inborn vs. outborn) and the effectiveness of whole-body hypothermia in protecting against brain injury in neonates suffering from hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in low- and middle-income countries.
- Conducted in seven neonatal intensive care units across India, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh, the research followed 408 neonates born after 36 weeks of gestation who were randomized into hypothermia and control groups, tracking various brain injury indicators over time.
- Results indicate that inborn neonates were generally smaller and had different delivery methods compared to outborn neonates, raising questions about how birthplace impacts treatment outcomes for HIE in this demographic
Urbanization is rapidly spreading throughout the developing world. An urban slum poses special health problems due to poverty, overcrowding, unhygienic surroundings and lack of an organized health Infrastructure. The primary causes of neonatal mortality are sepsis, perinatal asphyxia and prematurity.
