Association between Hematologic Findings and Brain Injury due to Neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy

We sought to analyze associations between aberrant hematologic counts and adverse outcome in neonates with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) due to various intrapartum asphyxial insult types and to describe the postnatal changes in counts.
