Metabolites and signatures (panels) of metabolites are applicable as biomarkers in clinical diagnosis, in particular for neonatal encephalopathy. They are useful tools in differential clinical diagnosis for early detection of brain injury, determination of brain areas affected by the insults and prediction of adverse neurological outcome and may also be applied in diagnosing disease progression and treatment effect. An in vitro method for predicting the likelihood of neonatal encephalopathy of distinct brain areas, identification of affected brain area(s) of neonatal encephalopathy and risk of brain damage and prognosis and neurological outcome due to identification of the type and extent of damage of distinct brain tissues, in particular of hippocampus and/or basal ganglia, is provided.
代谢物和代谢物特征(组)可作为生物标记物用于临床诊断,尤其是新生儿脑病的诊断。它们是临床鉴别诊断的有用工具,可用于早期发现脑损伤、确定受损伤影响的脑区和预测不良神经系统结果,还可用于诊断疾病进展和治疗效果。本研究提供了一种体外方法,用于预测不同脑区发生新生儿脑病的可能性、确定新生儿脑病的受影响脑区、脑损伤风险以及由于确定不同脑组织(特别是海马和/或基底节)的损伤类型和程度而导致的预后和神经系统结局。
