According to whether TH was performed, they were divided into two groups, the control group (missed the time in other hospitals and did not receive TH) and the treatment group (TH group). In their first ten days, analysis was made on the hs-CRP, white blood cell (WBC) count, neutrophil percentage, platelet count (PLT), and brain MRI. The correlation analysis was carried out based on the severity of brain injury displayed by the brain MRI and the time of hs-CRP elevation to summarize the relationship between TH and the time of hs-CRP elevation and the severity of HIE.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>83 infants were included, 28 in the control group and 55 in the TH group. After birth, 33 infants (60.0%) in the TH group and 2 patients (7.1%) in the control group had elevated hs-CRP, which was statistically significant (<jats:italic>P<\/jats:italic>\u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.05). The time window for CRP elevation after TH was 72\u201396\u2005h after the end of treatment; The results of the brain MRI showed 23 in the TH group and 11in the control group with moderate and severe HIE. 21 infants (all in the TH group) had elevated hs-CRP. MRI showed that the number of infants with mild injury or regular infants whose hs-CRP raised in the TH group was 12, and the rate of hs-CRP elevation was 37.5%; in the control group, the rate was 11.8%. The difference was significant. TH can decrease PLT and WBC, but no significance in the two groups. Blood and sputum cultures were negative in all infants, and there were no signs of infection.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title><jats:p>TH can increase the blood hs-CRP of HIE neonates, and the probability of its occurrence is related to the severity of HIE. The heavier the HIE, the higher the risk of hs-CRP elevation after TH; The hs-CRP elevation has little to do with infection, and it doesn't recommend using antibiotics actively.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.3389\/fped.2023.1157417","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,24]],"date-time":"2023-04-24T04:29:24Z","timestamp":1682310564000},"update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3389\/crossmark-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Therapeutic hypothermia can cause non-infective C-reactive protein elevating"],"prefix":"10.3389","volume":"11","author":[{"given":"Xiaohong","family":"Wang","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Liping","family":"Shi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Chenhong","family":"Wang","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Xiaolu","family":"Ma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1965","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,4,24]]},"reference":[{"key":"B1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"1805","DOI":"10.1172\/JCI200318921","article-title":"C-reactive protein: a critical update","volume":"111","author":"Pepys","year":"2003","journal-title":"J.
