Firdose Nakwa and her team summarised retrospective data on the outcomes of asphyxiated infants from a public tertiary hospital in South Africa. Many studies reporting on outcomes of neonates with Hypoxic Ischaemic Encephalopathy (HIE) managed with Therapeutic Hypothermia (TH), also called cooling, are conducted under controlled study conditions. Few report in settings where this intervention is offered as part of the standard of care, especially from LMICs. In this study, we report on short-term outcomes of neonates with moderate-to-severe HIE where TH was offered as part of the standard of care. The study was titled:  Characteristics and outcomes of neonates with intrapartum asphyxia managed with therapeutic hypothermia in a public tertiary hospital in South Africa. They concluded that the only factor associated with mortality was severe encephalopathy.
