The aim was to characterize a cohort of patients with perinatal asphyxia who received therapeutic hypothermia at the Fundación Cardioinfantil. Methods: A descriptive study was performed, in which we characterized clinical and sociodemographic variables, in a group of infants during the period between 2015 and 2018. and the neurodevelopment was assessed with the Abbreviated Scale of Development – 3. At a minimum age of 18 months old, Descriptive analysis of all the quantitative and qualitative variables were performed, the quantitative variables with central measures, and qualitative varaibles with frequencies in terms of proportions (%) Results: Of 156 patients attended between 2015 and 2018, 43 patients met criteria. More than half population were low socioeconomic status (58.1%), and 62% referred easy health acces. A poor neurodevelopment was found in 21 patients (49%). The area of hearing and language was the most frequently affected. Only 19% of the cases had compromise in three areas (motor, language and social) simultaneously. Conclusions: Perinatal asphyxia is a pathology with significant morbidity and mortality; the hypothermia is the election treatment to minimize neurologic sequelae, even though the adverse socioeconomic status, bad medical follow-up or rehab therapies.}, keywords = {Asfixia perinatal}, keywords = {Neurodesarrollo}, keywords = {Hipotermia terapéutica}, keywords = {Factores sociodemográficos}, title = {Caracterización de un grupo de niños con asfixia perinatal que recibieron hipotermia terapéutica.
