Early cranial ultrasound findings among infants with neonatal encephalopathy in Uganda: an observational study Cally J. Tann1–3, Margaret Nakakeeto4, Cornelia Hagmann5, Emily L. Webb2, Natasha Nyombi6, Flaviah Namiiro6, Kelly Harvey-Jones1, Anita Muhumuza6, Kathy Burgoine1, Alison M. Elliott2,3, Jennifer J. Kurinczuk7, Nicola J. Robertson1 and Frances M. Cowan8
Background: In sub-Saharan Africa, the timing and nature of brain injury and their relation to mortality in neonatal encephalopathy (NE) are unknown. We evaluated cranial ultrasound (cUS) scans from term Ugandan infants with and without NE for evidence of brain injury. Methods: Infants were recruited from a national referral hospital in Kampala. Cases (184) had NE and controls (100) were systematically selected unaffected term infants. All had cUS scans 36 h after birth 3 excluded due to poor image quality 0 declined scanning
