PATTERNS OF BRAIN INJURY IN HYPOXIC ENCEPHALOPATHY Researchers at Imperial College, Hammersmith, London, UK, studied patterns of brain injury in term neonates with hypoxic encephalopathy, risk factors, and the correlation between neuroimaging abnormalities and developmental outcomes at a minimum of 12 months.
