Long-Term Follow Up Guidelines for HIE – Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy

October 11th, 2024  | Advocacy  | News  | Research

 

Did you know there are currently ZERO published long-term follow up guidelines for neonatal and pediatric-acquired Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy?

That's about to change. Members of Hope for HIE's Medical Advisory Board, and the greater neonatology and pediatric neurology community are coming together to tackle this lack of important care for HIE. First, we need to know what care looks like around the world, and from the patient-family and provider sides.

How can you help and get involved? Check out the letters and links below to participate. Note: this is intented to capture GLOBAL perspectives!

Family Input Survey

Dear Parents:

We are reaching out because we are recruiting volunteers for a research survey to learn more about the experiences of parents of babies who have had hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or neonatal encephalopathy (NE).

As you may know, there is no standard protocol to tell us which is the best way to follow up babies who have had hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or neonatal encephalopathy (NE).  Our goal is to improve developmental outcomes and we are very interested in your opinion. 

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.

Thank you for your time!

Provider Input Survey

Dear Providers,

We are recruiting volunteers for a brief research survey to learn more about your thoughts and experiences of treatment and follow up care for infants with hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or neonatal encephalopathy (NE).

As you may know, there is no evidenced-based or consensus-based protocol for optimal follow up after NICU admission for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) or neonatal encephalopathy (NE). We are very interested in your practice of follow up and your recommendations for what might be considered “ideal follow up”. 

The survey will take approximately 10 minutes to complete.
