Abstract
The pediatric neurologist is often requested to predict the neurologic outc ome in an uncertain situation. A common and problematic clinical setting in which this occurs is the asphyxiated term newborn. This report reviews the predictive tools available for prognostication in this situation and formu lates a practical paradigm that the authors hope will improve predictive ac curacy and lessen uncertainty in this setting.
