Short-term outcome of functional integrity of the auditory brainstem in term infants who suffer perinatal asphyxia

MLS BAER was moderately abnormal at 3 months of age in term infants after perinatal asphyxia, suggesting moderate impairment in the functional integrity of the auditory brainstem. The impairment occurs in 17.1% of the infants. Compared with that found at term, the impairment has improved, but not completely recovered.
