The data highlight the need for novel reliable biomarkers for the early detection of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), i.e., neural injury caused by oxygen deprivation around the time of birth (perinatal asphyxia).
Key Points:
- The data highlight the need for novel reliable biomarkers for the early detection of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE), i.e., neural injury caused by oxygen deprivation around the time of birth (perinatal asphyxia).
- The AAMBI study was conducted as a prospective observational trial at four neonatal centers in Turkey.
- The neonatal short-term clinical outcome was determined for 144 surviving children based on further clinical assessment, cerebral MRI and amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG).
- Building on AAMBI and further clinical studies, InfanDx is developing the HypoxE Test for the detection of early biomarkers for HIE in blood.
