Official Title: Evaluation of Perinatal Risk Factors for Hypoxic-ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) and Their Influence on Severity of Encephalopathy During and After Hypothermia Therapy

Brief Summary:

The first aim of this study is to analyse perinatal risk factors leading to hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy in term and near term neonates born in Switzerland who were admitted to the neonatal and intensive care units offering hypothermia therapy.

Further, investigators would like to analyse the influence of these perinatal risk factors on the severity of encephalopathy during and after hypothermia therapy.
