    Abstract:

    Importance Hypothermia initiated at less than 6 hours after birth reduces death or disability for infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy at 36 weeks’ or later gestation. To our knowledge, hypothermia trials have not been performed in infants presenting after 6 hours. Objective To estimate the probability that hypothermia initiated at 6 to 24 hours after birth reduces the risk of death or disability at 18 months among infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy. Design, Setting, and Participants A randomized clinical trial was conducted between April 2008 and June 2016 among infants at 36 weeks’ or later gestation with moderate or severe Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy enrolled at 6 to 24 hours after birth. Twenty-one US Neonatal Research Network centers participated. Bayesian analyses were prespecified given the anticipated limited sample size. Interventions Targeted esophageal temperature was used in 168 infants. Eighty-three hypothermic infants were maintained at 33.5°C (acceptable range, 33°C-34°C) for 96 hours and then rewarmed. Eighty-five noncooled infants were maintained at 37.0°C (acceptable range, 36.5°C-37.3°C). Main Outcomes and Measures The composite of death or disability (moderate or severe) at 18 to 22 months adjusted for level of Encephalopathy and age at randomization. Results Hypothermic and noncooled infants were term (mean [SD], 39 [2] and 39 [1] weeks’ gestation, respectively), and 47 of 83 (57%) and 55 of 85 (65%) were male, respectively. Both groups were acidemic at birth, predominantly transferred to the treating center with moderate Encephalopathy, and were randomized at a mean (SD) of 16 (5) and 15 (5) hours for hypothermic and noncooled groups, respectively. The primary outcome occurred in 19 of 78 hypothermic infants (24.4%) and 22 of 79 noncooled infants (27.9%) (absolute difference, 3.5%; 95% CI, −1% to 17%). Bayesian analysis using a neutral prior indicated a 76% posterior probability of reduced death or disability with hypothermia relative to the noncooled group (adjusted posterior risk ratio, 0.86; 95% credible interval, 0.58-1.29). The probability that death or disability in cooled infants was at least 1%, 2%, or 3% less than noncooled infants was 71%, 64%, and 56%, respectively. Conclusions and Relevance Among term infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, hypothermia initiated at 6 to 24 hours after birth compared with noncooling resulted in a 76% probability of any reduction in death or disability, and a 64% probability of at least 2% less death or disability at 18 to 22 months. Hypothermia initiated at 6 to 24 hours after birth may have benefit but there is uncertainty in its effectiveness. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier:NCT00614744

    Abstract:

    Importance Hypothermia for 72 hours at 33.5°C for neonatal Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy reduces death or disability, but rates continue to be high. Objective To determine if cooling for 120 hours or to a temperature of 32.0°C reduces death or disability at age 18 months in infants with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy. Design, Setting, and Participants Randomized 2 × 2 factorial clinical trial in neonates (≥36 weeks’ gestation) with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy at 18 US centers in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Neonatal Research Network between October 2010 and January 2016. Interventions A total of 364 neonates were randomly assigned to 4 hypothermia groups: 33.5°C for 72 hours (n = 95), 32.0°C for 72 hours (n = 90), 33.5°C for 120 hours (n = 96), or 32.0°C for 120 hours (n = 83). Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome was death or moderate or severe disability at 18 to 22 months of age adjusted for center and level of Encephalopathy. Severe disability included any of Bayley Scales of Infant Development III cognitive score less than 70, Gross Motor Function Classification System (GMFCS) level of 3 to 5, or blindness or hearing loss despite amplification. Moderate disability was defined as a cognitive score of 70 to 84 and either GMFCS level 2, active seizures, or hearing with amplification. Results The trial was stopped for safety and futility in November 2013 after 364 of the planned 726 infants were enrolled. Among 347 infants (95%) with primary outcome data (mean age at follow-up, 20.7 [SD, 3.5] months; 42% female), death or disability occurred in 56 of 176 (31.8%) cooled for 72 hours and 54 of 171 (31.6%) cooled for 120 hours (adjusted risk ratio, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.68-1.25]; adjusted absolute risk difference, −1.0% [95% CI, −10.2% to 8.1%]) and in 59 of 185 (31.9%) cooled to 33.5°C and 51 of 162 (31.5%) cooled to 32.0°C (adjusted risk ratio, 0.92 [95% CI, 0.68-1.26]; adjusted absolute risk difference, −3.1% [95% CI, −12.3% to 6.1%]). A significant interaction between longer and deeper cooling was observed ( P  = .048), with primary outcome rates of 29.3% at 33.5°C for 72 hours, 34.5% at 32.0°C for 72 hours, 34.4% at 33.5°C for 120 hours, and 28.2% at 32.0°C for 120 hours. Conclusions and Relevance Among term neonates with moderate or severe Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, cooling for longer than 72 hours, cooling to lower than 33.5°C, or both did not reduce death or moderate or severe disability at 18 months of age. However, the trial may be underpowered, and an interaction was found between longer and deeper cooling. These results support the current regimen of cooling for 72 hours at 33.5°C.

    Abstract:

    Importance Hypothermia at 33.5°C for 72 hours for neonatal Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy reduces death or disability to 44% to 55%; longer cooling and deeper cooling are neuroprotective in animal models. Objective To determine if longer duration cooling (120 hours), deeper cooling (32.0°C), or both are superior to cooling at 33.5°C for 72 hours in neonates who are full-term with moderate or severe Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy. Design, Setting, and Participants A randomized, 2 × 2 factorial design clinical trial performed in 18 US centers in the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) Neonatal Research Network between October 2010 and November 2013. Interventions Neonates were assigned to 4 hypothermia groups; 33.5°C for 72 hours, 32.0°C for 72 hours, 33.5°C for 120 hours, and 32.0°C for 120 hours. Main Outcomes and Measures The primary outcome of death or disability at 18 to 22 months is ongoing. The independent data and safety monitoring committee paused the trial to evaluate safety (cardiac arrhythmia, persistent acidosis, major vessel thrombosis and bleeding, and death in the neonatal intensive care unit [NICU]) after the first 50 neonates were enrolled, then after every subsequent 25 neonates. The trial was closed for emerging safety profile and futility analysis after the eighth review with 364 neonates enrolled (of 726 planned). This report focuses on safety and NICU deaths by marginal comparisons of 72 hours’ vs 120 hours’ duration and 33.5°C depth vs 32.0°C depth (predefined secondary outcomes). Results The NICU death rates were 7 of 95 neonates (7%) for the 33.5°C for 72 hours group, 13 of 90 neonates (14%) for the 32.0°C for 72 hours group, 15 of 96 neonates (16%) for the 33.5°C for 120 hours group, and 14 of 83 neonates (17%) for the 32.0°C for 120 hours group. The adjusted risk ratio (RR) for NICU deaths for the 120 hours group vs 72 hours group was 1.37 (95% CI, 0.92-2.04) and for the 32.0°C group vs 33.5°C group was 1.24 (95% CI, 0.69-2.25). Safety outcomes were similar between the 120 hours group vs 72 hours group and the 32.0°C group vs 33.5°C group, except major bleeding occurred among 1% in the 120 hours group vs 3% in the 72 hours group (RR, 0.25 [95% CI, 0.07-0.91]). Futility analysis determined that the probability of detecting a statistically significant benefit for longer cooling, deeper cooling, or both for NICU death was less than 2%. Conclusions and Relevance Among neonates who were full-term with moderate or severe Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy, longer cooling, deeper cooling, or both compared with hypothermia at 33.5°C for 72 hours did not reduce NICU death. These results have implications for patient care and design of future trials. Trial Registration clinicaltrials.gov Identifier:NCT01192776

  • phenobarbital and temperature profile during hypothermia for Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
    Journal of Child Neurology, 2012
    Co-Authors: Guilherme M Santanna, Abbot R Laptook, Seetha Shankaran, Jon E Tyson, Scott A Mcdonald, Rosemary D Higgins, Richard A Ehrenkranz, Abhik Das, Rebecca Bara, Ronald N Goldberg
    Abstract:

    Data from the whole-body hypothermia trial was analyzed to examine the effects of phenobarbital administration prior to cooling (+PB) on the esophageal temperature (Te) profile, during the induction phase of hypothermia. A total of 98 infants were analyzed. At enrollment, +PB infants had a higher rate of severe Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy and clinical seizures and lower Te and cord pH than infants that have not received phenobarbital (–PB). There was a significant effect of phenobarbital itself and an interaction between phenobarbital and time in the Te profile. Mean Te in the +PB group was lower than in the –PB group, and the differences decreased over time. In +PB infants, the time to surpass target Te of 33.5°C and to reach the minimum Te during overshoot were shorter. In conclusion, the administration of phenobarbital before cooling was associated with changes that may reflect a reduced thermogenic response associated with barbiturates.

    Abstract:

    Objective. To determine the precision with which intrapartum metabolic acidemia and HypoxicIschemic Encephalopathy (HIE) in term and near-term infants can be identified by neonatal brain imaging.Study design. This is a case–control study whose inclusion criteria were neonates born at ≥34 weeks gestation with a cord gas at delivery, suspected neurological abnormalities, and computed tomography (CT) or magnetic resonance (MR) imaging of the brain. Neonates with chromosomal and major congenital malformations were excluded. Brain imaging for neonates with and without metabolic acidemia (pH 12 mM) at birth and HIE were retrospectively reviewed by a neuroradiologist blinded to their clinical course and compared.Results. There were 54 neonates admitted to the NICU at a single university hospital between 1992 and 2006 that met these inclusion criteria of which 27 had metabolic acidemia at birth. There were 16 diagnosed clinically as having HIE at the time of neonatal discharge, 13 from t...

  • intrapartum electronic fetal heart rate monitoring and the identification of metabolic acidosis and Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy
    American Journal of Obstetrics and Gynecology, 2007
    Co-Authors: Joel Larma, Anadir Silva, Cynthia J Holcroft, Richard E Thompson, Pamela Donohue, Ernest M Graham
    Abstract:

    Objective The purpose of this study was to determine whether electronic fetal monitoring can identify fetuses with metabolic acidosis and Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy. Study Design The cases were 107 nonanomalous chromosomally normal fetuses with an umbilical arterial pH Results Cases had a significant increase in late and prolonged decelerations/hour and late decelerations/contractions. Those fetuses with Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy had significant increases in bradycardia, decreased variability, and nonreactivity but no difference in late or variable decelerations/hour. For the identification of Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy, the sensitivity, specificity, and positive and negative predictive values were 15.4%, 98.9%, 66.7%, and 89.4%, respectively, for bradycardia; 53.8%, 79.8%, 26.9%, and 92.6%, respectively, for decreased variability; 92.3%, 61.7%, 2.7%, and 82.9%, respectively, for nonreactivity; and 7.7%, 98.9%, 50.0%, and 88.6%, respectively, for all 3 abnormalities combined. Conclusion Fetal metabolic acidosis and Hypoxic-Ischemic Encephalopathy are associated with significant increases in electronic fetal monitoring abnormalities, but their predictive ability to identify these conditions is low.
