Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in infants ≥36 weeks gestational age in Turkey, finding an incidence rate of 2.13 per 1000 live births, with varying severity levels among those affected.
- - Among infants with HIE, therapeutic hypothermia (TH) was notably administered to 34.5% of those with mild HIE, while factors like gestational age affected mortality rates, especially in those born at 34-35 weeks.
- - Despite an unchanged incidence of HIE, the study revealed a decreased mortality rate and no significant impact of TH timing on MRI findings or mortality.
Article Synopsis
- The study investigates the clinical characteristics and outcomes of neonates with COVID-19 in Turkey, finding that symptomatic cases often experience respiratory issues.
- Symptoms commonly included fever, hypoxemia, and cough, with a small percentage requiring mechanical ventilation.
- High levels of C-reactive protein (CRP) and prothrombin time (PT) were associated with more severe cases, indicating a need for closer monitoring.
