Sampling MethodNon-Probability Sample
Study Population

Data will be collected from full-term neonates (first 28 days of life) with perinatal hypoxia admitted in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit. Both sexes are included (males \& females) .

You may qualify if:

  • Cases group:
  • The presence of a sentinel hypoxic event immediately before or during delivery
  • History of fetal distress (bradycardia, late decelerations, absence of heart rate variability).
  • Need for neonatal resuscitation at delivery
  • One-min Apgar score \<3 or 5-minApgar score\<7
  • Metabolic acidosis (BE \> 10 in cord blood)
  • Cardiocirculatory instability (CCI), clinical indications of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) and multiple organ involvement (MOI).
  • Control group:
  • Newborns who were delivered normally after uncomplicated pregnancy. None of them have clinical nor biochemical signs of asphyxia.

You may not qualify if:

  • Newborns who do not fulfill the above criteria.
  • Newborns with congenital heart diseases and perinatal hemolytic anemia or congenital liver affection.
  • Whose parents refuse to participate in the study.
  • Cases above 4 days old.
  • Preterm neonates (less than 37 weeks).
