Abstract

Abstract Objectives Seizures (SZ) are one of the main complications occurring in infants undergoing therapeutic hypothermia (TH) due to perinatal asphyxia (PA) and hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). Phenobarbital (PB) is the first-line therapeutic strategy, although data on its potential side-effects need elucidation. We investigated whether: i) PB administration in PA-HIE TH-treated infants affects S100B urine levels, and ii) S100B could be a reliable early predictor of SZ. Methods We performed a prospective case-control study in 88 PA-HIE TH infants, complicated (n=44) or not (n=44) by SZ requiring PB treatment. S100B urine levels were measured at 11 predetermined monitoring time-points from first void up to 96-h from birth. Standard-of-care monitoring parameters were also recorded. Results S100B significantly increased in the first 24-h independently from HIE severity in the cases who later developed SZ and requested PB treatment. ROC curve analysis showed that S100B, as SZ predictor, at a cut-off of 2.78 μg/L achieved a sensitivity/specificity of 63 and 84 %, positive/negative predictive values of 83 and 64 %. Conclusions The present results offer additional support to the usefulness of S100B as a trustable diagnostic tool in the clinical daily monitoring of therapeutic and pharmacological procedures in infants complicated by PA-HIE.
