| description | Introduction: Despite all improvements in neonatal intensive care practices, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy is an important cause of permanent injury of central nervous system leading to neonatal death, cerebral palsy and developmental retardation in the future. In this retrospective study, 11 patients who had been admitted to our hospital’s neonatal intensive care unit between years 2007 and 2009 with a diagnosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy were investigated. Materials and Method: Birth history, special occasions in pregnancies, apgar scores, blood gases, neonatal resuscitation needs, birth weights, gender, mechanical ventilation needs, clinical states, Sarnat and Sarnat stages, additional organ involvements, convulsion rates, EEG and other imagining results, duration of hospital stays and hospital discharge states of cases were investigated. Results: Incidence of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in all live births was 0.41% and 1.33% in newborns admitted to hospital. Convulsions were seen in seven patients (63.6%). According to Sarnat and Sarnat Staging System; seven cases (63.6%) were at Stage-II, three (27.2%) at Stage-I and one (9.1%) at Stage-III. One of the cases died (9.1%). Conclusions: In contradiction to previous informations and literature, we found that our hospital’s mortality rate was quite low and this was tought to be due to minority of our cases and hospital’s special patient population. We think that it would be better to re-evaluate this study and other studies published in our country together within a broad investigatiton including hospitals of Ministry of Health.
