Summary
This study tested whether high doses of erythropoietin, a drug that boosts red blood cell production, could help prevent long-term brain damage in full-term newborns who suffered oxygen loss at birth. All 120 babies also received standard cooling therapy. The main goal was to see if the drug improved survival without lasting neurological problems like motor, vision, or hearing issues.
