We aimed to correlate routinely used blood biomarkers for perinatal sepsis in cooled asphyxiated newborns with MRI findings.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Methods:<\/jats:bold> Perinatal data was retrospectively collected from 67 cooled asphyxiated newborns. Levels of C-reactive protein (CRP), white blood cells and platelets were analyzed before, during and after TH. Interleukin-6 blood levels were analyzed before initiation of TH. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) on postnatal day 5\u20137 was used defining short-term outcome. Adverse outcome was defined as death or adverse MRI findings. Amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) was additionally analyzed and correlated with short-term MRI outcome.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results:<\/jats:bold> Forty-nine newborns had favorable short-term MRI outcome. Perinatal data referring to perinatal sepsis did not differ significantly between groups. IL-6 levels before initiation of TH and CRP levels on day three and after TH were significantly higher in newborns with adverse short-term MRI outcome. Males with adverse short-term MRI outcome had significantly increased CRP values at the end of the cooling phase. aEEG strongly correlated with short-term MRI outcome.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusion:<\/jats:bold> Routinely used blood biomarkers may be helpful early identifying newborns at high risk of unfavorable outcome and in need of close
