    (AMER ACAD PEDIATRICS, 2011) Kirton, Adam; Armstrong Wells, Jennifer; Chang, Taeun; de Veber, Gabrielle; Rivkin, Michael J.; Hernandez, Marta; Carpenter, Jessica; Yager, Jerome Y.; Lynch, John K.; Ferriero, Donna M.; Int Pediat Stroke Study
    BACKGROUND: Neonatal arterial ischemic stroke (AIS) has emerged as a leading cause of perinatal brain injury, cerebral palsy, and lifelong disability. The pathogenesis is poorly understood, which limits the development of treatment and prevention strategies. Multicenter studies must define epidemiology, risk factors, treatment practices, and outcomes to advance clinical trials and improve the adverse outcomes suffered by most survivors.
