Their burden and prognostic value remain poorly described.

A cumulative mSSCI score was calculated as the sum of the six possible abnormalities. Associations between mSSCI burden, markers of perinatal asphyxia, resuscitation characteristics, and mortality were explored using univariate analyses.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Among the 109 newborns, 106 received therapeutic hypothermia within 6\u2005h of birth; 12 developed neonatal seizures, 32 had brain lesions on MRI, and 10 died. 22% experienced no mSSCI, 35% had one, 28% had two, and 15% had three or more. Increasing cumulative mSSCI was significantly associated (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01) with greater HIE severity (8.3% of newborns without mSSCI to 53.8% with \u22653 mSSCI were Sarnat III stage), higher lactate levels at birth and lower 5-minute Apgar scores (\n                      <jats:italic>p<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u2009&amp;lt;\u20090.01). The cumulative number of mSSCI was significantly associated with the severity of individual metabolic disturbances.
