Abstract
< 0.001). A positive correlation was obtained between multiorgan dysfunction, HIE severity, and infant death. Stage III HIE infants are more likely to experience abnormalities in the kidneys, liver, bone marrow as compared with stage II HIE infants. Correlations between organ complications are present, and should be taken into account during clinical assessment of HIE infants. The probability of mortality is higher in stage III HIE infants with observed multiorgan dysfunctions.
