The aim of the HRB funded BRANE-Child (Brain Research After Neonatal Encephalopathy) project, is to investigate the predictive validity of neonatal continuous EEG, early developmental assessment, and other markers for five-year outcome in children who have experienced neonatal hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy. At five-years of age, children are invited to undergo neurodevelopmental assessment in relevant domains. Psychological assessment measures overall intelligence and a selection of relevant neuropsychological domains including attention, memory, language, visual-spatial, and sensorimotor areas using standardized tests. Parents/carers rate their child’s overall behaviour and executive functioning. Neurological, vision and hearing screening tests are completed by paediatricians, ophthalmologist/orthoptist and audiologists respectively. The results will be compared to a cohort of children who had an uneventful neonatal period and for whom neonatal continuous EEG recordings are available.
