Objective: Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an acute and progressive encephalopathy resulting from perinatal asphyxia. Approximately 15% infants with neonatal HIE die, whereas 25% exhibit subsequent neurological disabilities. In this study, it was intended to compare effects of total body cooling treatment administered for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy on neurological and developmental findings obtained at 18-36 months.
Material and Methods: Patients who have been hospitalized between 2013 and 2014 in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit with a diagnosis of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy and treated total body cooling were included. After discharge, neurological examinations of the patients were evaluated by developmental assessments with “Bayley Scales of Infant Development II” at 18-36 months.
Results: Mean MDI score of 17 patients was 90.2±16.3, and mean PDI score was 93.8±17.3. MDI scores were < 70 in 11.8% (n = 2) of all cases, and PDI scores were < 70 in 5.9% (n=1) of all cases. In 5.9% (n=1) of all cases, deafness and cerebral palsy were detected. Developmental disorder were found in 17.6% (n=3) of all cases.
Conclusion: The therapeutic hypothermia in newborns decreased mortality in moderate and severe HIE and improved neurodevelopmental outcomes at 18th month. In our study, early neurological and developmental problem rates after therapeutic hypothermia were found similar with the literature. However, long period follow-up is necessary to determine minor disorders in these patients.
Amaç: Hipoksik iskemik ensefalopati (HİE), perinatal asfiksi sonucunda gelişen akut ve ilerleyici bir ensefalopati tablosudur. Genellikle HİE tanılı hastaların %15’i kaybedilirken, yaklaşık %25’inde nörolojik bozukluk görülmektedir. Bu çalışmada HİE tanılı hastalarda total vücut soğutma tedavisinin 18-36. aylarındaki nörogelişimsel sonuçlar üzerine etkilerinin değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır.
Gereç ve yöntemler: Çalışmaya 2013-2014 yıllarında, HİE tanısı ile yatırılarak total vücut soğutma uygulanan hastalar dahil edildi. Taburculuk sonrası izlemlerine devam edilen bu hastaların 18-36 ay arasında nörolojik muayeneleri ve “Bayley Bebekler için Gelişimsel Değerlendirme Ölçeği II” ile gelişimsel değerlendirmeleri yapıldı.
Bulgular: Çalışmaya alınan 17 hastanın ortalama mental gelişim endeksi (MDI) skoru 90.2±16.3, ortalama psikomotor gelişim endeksi (PDI) skoru 93.8±17.3, MDI skoru %11.8(n:2) olguda <70, PDI skoru %5.9 (n:1) olguda <70, sağırlık ve serebral palsi %5.9 (n:1) olguda saptanmış olup, körlük hiçbir hastada saptanmadı. Toplam nörogelişimsel sorun oranı ise %17.6(n:3) olarak saptandı.
Sonuç: HİE’li yenidoğanlarda hipotermi uygulamasıyla beraber orta ve ağır HİE’li olgularda mortalitenin azaldığı ve 18. ayda nörogelişimsel sonuçları olumlu etkilediği gösterilmiştir. Çalışmamızda da terapotik hipotermi sonrası erken dönem nörolojik ve gelişimsel sorun oranları literatür ile benzer bulunmuştur. Ancak bu hastalarda minör bozuklukların saptanması için izlemlerin devamı gerekmektedir.

The publication language of Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease is English.
Manuscripts submitted to the Turkish Journal of Pediatric Disease will go through a double-blind peer-review process. Each submission will be reviewed by at least two external, independent peer reviewers who are experts in the field, in order to ensure an unbiased evaluation process. The editorial board will invite an external and independent editor to manage the evaluation processes of manuscripts submitted by editors or by the editorial board members of the journal. The Editor in Chief is the final authority in the decision-making process for all submissions. Articles accepted for publication in the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics are put in the order of publication, with at least 10 original articles in each issue, taking into account the acceptance dates. If the articles sent to the reviewers for evaluation are assessed as a senior for publication by the reviewers, the section editor and the editor considering all aspects (originality, high scientific quality and citation potential), it receives publication priority in addition to the articles assigned for the next issue.
The aim of the Turkish Journal of Pediatrics is to publish high-quality original research articles that will contribute to the international literature in the field of general pediatric health and diseases and its sub-branches. It also publishes editorial opinions, letters to the editor, reviews, case reports, book reviews, comments on previously published articles, meeting and conference proceedings, announcements, and biography. In addition to the field of child health and diseases, the journal also includes articles prepared in fields such as surgery, dentistry, public health, nutrition and dietetics, social services, human genetics, basic sciences, psychology, psychiatry, educational sciences, sociology and nursing, provided that they are related to this field. can be published.
