- Original researchThermal management with and without servo-controlled system in preterm infants immediately after birth: a multicentre, randomised controlled study
This multicentre double blind RCT of 450 preterm infants evaluated the effectiveness of a thermal servo-controlled system in the delivery room. There was no important difference in rates of normothermia but the servo-controlled system was associated with increased mild hypothermia.

- Original researchTrends in the incidence and management of hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy in the therapeutic hypothermia era: a national population study
This paper describes trends in the diagnosis and treatment of hypoxic ischaemic encephalopathy in the UK National Neonatal Research Database for the years 2011-13 and 2014-16. Mortality of moderate/severe HIE decreased and more infants with mild HIE were treated in the later period.

- Original researchUsefulness of video recordings for validating neonatal encephalopathy exams: a population-based cohort study
This manuscript assesses the use of video recordings in a prospective cohort of babies with HIE compared to the neurological assessments by the on site attending physician. There were some discrepancies, especially in babies with mild HIE, but the data support the use of telemedicine to assess HIE severity.
