Abstract

Background: Neonate-onset encephalopathy has a wide range of clinical presentations. Premature or late birth (defined as occurring before or after 35 weeks of gestation) and early-onset neurological impairments are linked to this condition. The patient may have a loss of consciousness, convulsions, difficulty breathing, delayed or halted respiration, slowed or stopped reflexes, and depressed tone. The purpose of this research was to determine the incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in patients diagnosed with perinatal asphyxia in a tertiary care hospital. Materials and methods: The GKMC/BKMC Hospital in Sawabi, Pakistan, conducted this cross-sectional research there. During the time period of July 1, 2021, to December 31, 2021, researchers acquired information. Eighty newborns with perinatal hypoxia were included in the research. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy screening criteria were applied to each infant. Results: In this study, ages were between 1 and 10 days old, with average being 2.5371.28 days. The average gestational age was 37.6811.24 weeks, and the average birth weight was 3.2750.35 kg. Vaginal deliveries accounted for 75% of all births, whereas caesarean sections were performed for just 25%. Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy affected 8 people. Patients accounting for 11% of the total.
