Most<unk>  deaths (roughly 75%) after<unk>  occur within the first week, but the vast majority occur within 24 hours. This statistic is based on a mean Apgar score score of 5.9, which is considered intermediate. More data is needed to understand outcomes for more severe patients. Outcomes after<unk>  for neonates vary widely based on many factors. One study in Norway analyzed 15 peer-reviewed published articles and found that high-income countries have a mortality rate as high as 10% while low-income countries have a mortality rate as high as 28%. One major factor that improved survival was how quickly medical responders were able to intervene, noting that the first minutes are critical. It has been demonstrated that high concentrations of oxygen lead to generation of oxygen free radicals, which have a role in reperfusion injury after asphyxia. Clinical trial evidence suggests that<unk>  using air probably reduces the risk of death and the 2010 ILCOR guidelines recommend the use of normal air rather than 100% oxygen. Another study showed that preterm infants have little or no difference in risk of death or neurodevelopment disability when higher concentrations of oxygen are used compared to lower concentrations but the evidence from clinical trials is still relatively uncertain. Currently, it is the gold standard to place neonates on a cooling blanket for 72 hours to achieve total body cooling. This is done in order to minimize brain swelling. After cooling is achieved, an MRI is obtained roughly 1 week after hypoxic brain injury in order to classify the severity of brain damage. However, one study found that there was no significant correlation between MRI findings and developmental delay up to 2 years of life.
