“A significant proportion (approximately 25%) of infants with mild neonatal encephalopathy have mild to moderate disability at 2 years. By 5 years, 35% are having difficulties in one or more areas. No trials of cooling in mild HIE have been undertaken and so clinicians have no evidence base to guide treatment in this group," states [...]

Dr. Greg Vigna, MD, JD, national malpractice attorney, and expert in life care [...]
