Question: The clinical relevance of impaired renal function (IRF), based on the rate of serum creatinine level decline during the week after birth, in neonates treated with therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy need further investigation.
Finding: In this study, neonates with IRF had 2-fold higher risk of early death or severe brain injury.
Meaning: IRF can be used as a marker of adverse neonatal outcomes. |
