Multi‐organ dysfunction scoring in neonatal encephalopathy (MODE Score) and neurodevelopmental outcomes [PDF]
AbstractAimNeonatal encephalopathy (NE) is associated with an increased risk of multi‐organ injury. The lack of standardised definitions for multi‐organ dysfunction in NE hinders accurate quantification of these complications.MethodsA simple multi‐organ dysfunction in neonatal encephalopathy scoring (MODE) system was created to include the ...
