NCT02676063

Brief Summary

The primary objective is to evaluate neonatal characteristics, and biological and clinical investigations as predictive factors of death, or of severe and moderate neurodevelopmental disability at 3 years, in a large population-based cohort of full-term and late preterm neonates with moderate or severe HIE. Contrary to most previous studies which have often analyzed the accuracy of one factor among all other clinical investigations, the investigators objective's is to seek a relevant combination of several factors among the following list:

  • Neonatal characteristics: gestational age and birthweight, maternal disease, acute intrapartum event, delivery mode, acidosis, neurological examination, place of birth and neonatal transfer
  • Laboratory investigations: pH, lactates and new biological markers as detailed below
  • Clinical investigations: aEEG, EEG, MRI, diffusion-weighted MRI

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • The primary outcome measure is a combined criterion : death, neurodevelopmental disabilities in survivors

    A combined criterion which includes: * Death between birth and 3 years of age * Neurodevelopmental disabilities in survivors, defined as : o Severe disabilities * Intellectual impairment with a mental score \>2SD below the mean or \<70 (ASQ) * Or Cerebral palsy with a Gross Motor Function level of 3-5 according to the GMFCS * Or bilateral blindness (vision \<20/200 acuity) * Or deafness requiring amplification (\>60dB)and/ * Or a persistent disorder defined as recurrent seizures after discharge from neonatal intensive care requiring anti-convulsion therapy at the examination time point o Moderate disabilities * Intellectual impairment with a mental score \>1SD below the mean or 70 to 84 (ASQ) * Cerebral palsy with a Gross Motor Function level of 1 or 2 according to the GMFCS * Or hearing impairment requiring no amplification

    between birth and 3 years of age

Secondary Outcomes (4)

  • First secondary objective : The relevance of specific new biomarkers : Protein levels (IL-6, MMP-9, TIMP-1, Albumine modified by hypoxia, troponine I), acylcarnitins and amino acids.

    before H6 and at 3 days

  • Second secondary objective: the predictive value of clinical investigations during the first weeks of life and treatments.

    first week, At 18 months and 3 years of age

  • Third secondary objective : Number and percentage of participants with cooling.

    birth

  • Fourth secondary objective : Number and percentage of various obstetrical conditions leading to the worse outcomes

    birth

Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

This study will be performed on all moderate or severe cases of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathyhie, occurring between 34 and 42 completed weeks gestation in newborns admitted to a neonatal intensive care unit of the participating French regions. Children will be followed-up until the age of 3 years.

You may qualify if:

  • Infants born at a gestational age of 34 weeks or more;
  • Presenting early neurological distress with clinical signs of moderate to severe HIE at a standardized neurologic examination performed by a senior examiner:
  • Moderate HIE: lethargy, hyper-reflexia, miosis, bradycardia, seizures, hypotonia with weak suck and Moro reflex
  • Severe HIE: stupor, flaccidity, small to mid-position pupils that react poorly to light, reduced stretch reflexes, hypothermia or no Moro reflex
  • With criteria for asphyxia:
  • pH of 7.0 or less or a base deficit of 16 mmol per liter or more in a sample of umbilical-cord blood or any blood sampled in the first hour after birth.
  • If, during this interval, the pH is between 7.01 and 7.15, base deficit is between 10 and 15.9 mmol per liter, or blood gas is not available, additional criteria will be required. These include:
  • an acute perinatal event (e.g., late or variable decelerations, cord prolapse, cord rupture, uterine rupture, maternal trauma, hemorrhage, or cardiorespiratory arrest)
  • or an abrupt change in fetal heart rate (FHR), defined as a persistent abnormal FHE after a period of normal tracing: bradycardia or prolonged deceleration, persistent variable decelerations, persistent late decelerations, and reduced heart variability
  • or either a 10-minute Apgar score of 5 or less or assisted ventilation initiated at birth and continued for at least 10 minutes.
  • Written parental informed consent
  • Covered by the French social security

You may not qualify if:

  • Congenital malformations
  • Chromosomal disorders
  • Congenital neuromuscular disorders
