School-age outcomes after newborn brain injury
Part of Brain & nervous system, Heart & circulation clinical trials.
This study looks at how children who had a brain injury around birth (called hypoxic-ischaemic encephalopathy, or HIE) are doing in school and daily life, compared to children without that history. It aims to understand the long-term effects and support needs.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- Your child was born with HIE (any severity) and took part in one of seven studies at Cork University Maternity Hospital between 2013 and 2020.
- You gave permission for your child's study data to be used in future related research and for the team to contact you again.
- Your child is still alive and does not have a congenital malformation or genetic syndrome.
- If your child is a control (no HIE), they were born at 36 weeks or later, attend mainstream primary school with no developmental diagnosis, had no HIE or birth asphyxia, no NICU admission within 12 hours of birth, and no ongoing developmental clinic visits.

This trial is for newborn babies who had an oxygen shortage around birth and now have severe brain injury. It aims to test approaches that may help improve outcomes after this kind of early-life brain damage.
This study looks at a blood test that might help check brain injury in newborns who had a lack of oxygen at birth. The test could give doctors more information to help care for your baby.
This study looks at eye and vision outcomes in babies who have had lack of oxygen around birth (HIE) and also compares them with healthy “well babies.” It may help doctors better understand how HIE affects the eyes and what to watch for over time.
This study uses whole genome sequencing to look at the genes of newborns with HIE (brain injury from lack of oxygen) who are receiving cooling treatment. The goal is to learn more about how genes may affect recovery and outcomes.
This study uses EEG (a test that records brain activity) to help doctors quickly identify brain injury in newborns who had a difficult birth. If successful, it could lead to earlier treatment and better outcomes.
This trial tests whether metformin, a common diabetes medicine, can help heal brain injury in infants who had HIE (lack of oxygen at birth) and were treated with cooling. It aims to see if the drug is safe and possible to give to babies between 3 and 6 months old.
