Abstract
Neonates can suffer neurologic injury of various etiologies but current therapeutic options and neurological monitoring and prognostication methods are limited. In this chapter, we review acute blood-based biomarkers that could serve as diagnostic tools to identify infants with neurologic injury, discriminate severity, monitor treatment efficacy and prognosticate recovery and any long-term disability. We discuss the potential advantages of combining biomarkers from multiple cellular pathways that may complement each other to identify distinct injury mechanisms and determine the timing of injury. Lastly, we discuss potential applications for blood-based biomarkers in neonatal encephalopathy, neonatal seizures, or other acute events such as cardiopulmonary arrest.
