Eligibility
Inclusion criteria
Inclusion criteria: a) 40 full-term infants admitted to a NICU (UMCU or Isala) in the period of 2007-2008 because of acute perinatal asphyxia but without hypothermia and b) 40 fullterm infants admitted to a NICU (UMCU or Isala) in the period of 2008-2009 because of acute perinatal asphyxia but treated with hypothermia
Exclusion criteria
Exclusion criteria: - Moderate to severe structural brain damage previously confirmed by MRI; - Congenital brain abnormalities and/or other (chromosomal/metabolic) anomalies; - Cerebral palsy; - Abnormal developmental outcome (DQ
Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Neuropsychological assessment: comparison of neurospychological outcome assessed at 9-10 years of age in children who suffered perinatal asphyxia, were treated /or not with hypothermia in the neonatal period MRI. Conventional MR imaging will be evaluated for presence of structural abnormalities. From the resting-state fMRI sequence, cross-correlation calculations between resting-state time series of spatially distant brain areas can determine functional connectivity (FC) between brain areas. Next to network localization, network size and FC strength will be studied. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| MRI Comparison of cross-correlation calculations between resting-state time series of spatially distant brain areas can determine functional connectivity (FC) between brain areas. Next to network localization, network size and FC strength will be studied in infants with and without perinatal asphyxia. Comparison of the results of the neuropsychological evaluation with the results of the test using the virtual reality glasses. . | — |
