To the Editor We read with interest the article by Chalak et al1 on the association of increased seizures during rewarming with abnormal neurodevelopmental outcomes at 2-year follow-up. The authors observed adverse neurodevelopmental outcomes among infants with seizures during rewarming after completing therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. Compared with infants without seizures during rewarming, infants with these seizures were more likely to have abnormal background amplitude integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and an incidence of basal ganglia-thalamic injury that was 2-fold higher than that of white matter injury. This study highlights the need to optimize seizure identification, quantification, and treatment.
