@entity1545 in term @entity1 remains a significant clinical problem. Recently a change appears to have occurred in the pattern of such injuries. We sought to characterize the incidence, etiology, clinical manifestations, and outcomes of these injuries. A retrospective chart review identified clinical characteristics of neuroimaging, electroencephalography, and placental pathologic findings. Perinatal @entity308 was defined as @entity2421 and the need for respiratory support. From January 2004-December 2009, 29,597 term deliveries occurred. @entity1545 in 33 @entity1 (live term births) included @entity2806 (n = 8; 0.27/1000), @entity548 (n = 10; 0.34/1000), intraventricular/intraparenchymal @entity548 (n = 5; 0.17/1000), and focal @entity385 (n = 4; 0.14/1000). Thirteen of 33 @entity1 (39%) were triaged to a regular nursery. Delayed presentations included @entity386 (n = 6), desaturation episodes (n = 3), and @entity410 (n = 4). Twenty of 33 (61%) were admitted directly to the neonatal intensive care unit because of perinatal @entity308 or evolving @entity2806 . Clinical signs included @entity410 (n = 12) and @entity386 (n = 2). Nine of 19 manifested @entity410 . Pathology included @entity5870 (n = 7) and fetal @entity715 (n = 5). The latter was associated with focal @entity385 in 3/4 cases. Most cases attributable to perinatal @entity1545 , except for evolving @entity2806 , are not identified according to any perinatal characteristics until the onset of signs, limiting opportunities for prevention.
