PG - 104673 LID - S2352-3964(23)00238-4 [pii] LID - 10.1016/j.ebiom.2023.104673 [doi] LID - 104673 AB - BACKGROUND: Therapeutic hypothermia (TH) is standard of care for moderate to severe neonatal hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) but many survivors still suffer lifelong disabilities and benefits of TH for mild HIE are under active debate. Development of objective diagnostics, with sensitivity to mild HIE, are needed to select, guide, and assess response to treatment. The objective of this study was to determine if cerebral oxygen metabolism (CMRO(2)) in the days after TH is associated with 18-month neurodevelopmental outcomes as the first step in evaluating CMRO(2)'s potential as a diagnostic for HIE. Secondary objectives were to compare associations with clinical exams and characterise the relationship between CMRO(2) and temperature during TH. METHODS: This was a prospective, multicentre, observational, cohort study of neonates clinically diagnosed with HIE and treated with TH recruited from the tertiary neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of Boston Children's Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital, and Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center between December 2015 and October 2019 with follow-up to 18 months. In total, 329 neonates >/=34 weeks gestational age admitted with perinatal asphyxia and suspected HIE were identified. 179 were approached, 103 enrolled, 73 received TH, and 64 were included. CMRO(2) was measured at the NICU bedside by frequency-domain near-infrared and diffuse correlation spectroscopies (FDNIRS-DCS) during the late phases of hypothermia (C), rewarming (RW) and after return to normothermia (NT). Additional variables were body temperature and clinical neonatal encephalopathy (NE) scores, as well as findings from magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS). Primary outcome was the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development, Third Edition (BSID-III) at 18 months, normed (SD) to 100 (15). FINDINGS: Data quality for 58 neonates was sufficient for analysis. CMRO(2) changed by 14.4% per degrees C (95% CI, 14.2-14.6) relative to its baseline at NT while cerebral tissue oxygen extraction fraction (cFTOE) changed by only 2.2% per degrees C (95% CI, 2.1-2.4) for net changes from C to NT of 91% and 8%, respectively. Follow-up data for 2 were incomplete, 33 declined and 1 died, leaving 22 participants (mean [SD] postnatal age, 19.1 [1.2] month; 11 female) with mild to moderate HIE (median [IQR] NE score, 4 [3-6]) and 21 (95%) with BSID-III scores >85 at 18 months. CMRO(2) at NT was positively associated with cognitive and motor composite scores (beta (SE) = 4.49 (1.55) and 2.77 (1.00) BSID-III points per 10(-10) moL/dl x mm(2)/s, P = 0.009 and P = 0.01 respectively; linear regression); none of the other measures were associated with the neurodevelopmental outcomes. INTERPRETATION: Point of care measures of CMRO(2) in the NICU during C and RW showed dramatic changes and potential to assess individual response to TH. CMRO(2) following TH outperformed conventional clinical evaluations (NE score, cFTOE, and MRI/MRS) at predicting cognitive and motor outcomes at 18 months for mild to moderate HIE, providing a promising objective, physiologically-based diagnostic for HIE.
