Neurological outcome and death post-discharge expressed as proportion of infants surviving to discharge.
*p=0.06 (Fisher's exact test, comparing severe disability between infants with HIE and those with P/IVH).
†p<0.01 (Fisher's exact test, comparing combined outcome of death (post-discharge) or severe disability between infants with HIE and those with P/IVH).
GOS, Glasgow Outcome Scale; HIE, hypoxic–ischaemic encephalopathy; P/IVH, periventricular/intraventricular haemorrhage; PVL, periventricular leucomalacia; ICH, intra-cerebral haemorrhage; TLD, treatment limitation discussion.
