Abstract
In the Neonatal Erythropoietin and Therapeutic Hypothermia Outcomes study, 9/20 erythropoietin-treated vs 12/24 placebo-treated infants with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy had acute brain injury. Among infants with acute brain injury, the injury volume was lower in the erythropoietin than the placebo group (P =.004). Higher injury volume correlated with lower 12-month neurodevelopmental scores. Trial registration ClinicalTrials.gov: NCT01913340.
