Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) is an important cause of mortality and morbidity in newborns. The aim of this study is to evaluate the neurodevelopmental outcomes and rehabilition needs of infants followed up with a diagnosis of HIE who were treated with hypothermia in our unit. A total of 23 patients who met the criteria were retrospectively reviewed. Denver Developmental Screening Test II (Denver II DST) was used for the developmental screening. Patients were divided into groups as moderate and severe HIE based on Sarnat encephalopathy staging, as well as normal and abnormal groups based on Denver II DST results. Moderate HIE was detected in 17 (73.9%) patients, and severe HIE was detected in 6 (26.1%) patients. Patients with severe HIE were found to have lower apgar scores, more resistant metabolic acidosis, longer ventilation times, and more abnormal cranial magnetic resonance findings in the neonatal period (p Keywords: Hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, therapeutic hypothermia, neurodevelopmental outcomes, newborn
