Abstract Background We measured changes in the blood level of high‐mobility group box‐1 ( HMGB ‐1) at 24 h intervals in neonates treated with brain/body hypothermia (body hypothermia therapy: BHT ) for hypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy ( HIE ), to evaluate the usefulness of HMGB ‐1 level for determining outcomes. Methods We studied 15 neonates with HIE who underwent BHT ( BHT (+) group) and six neonates with HIE who did not ( BHT (–) group). We recorded HMGB ‐1 changes at 24 h intervals, creatinine phosphokinase, and the resistance index of the anterior cerebral artery. Magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI ) was used to determine short‐term outcome. Result Baseline HMGB ‐1 was significantly higher in the BHT (+) group than in the BHT (–) group. Thereafter, HMGB ‐1 in the BHT (+) group significantly decreased at 24 h intervals, reaching the reference range by 2 days of age. In the BHT (+) group, when patients were classified into clinically significant neurological disorder due to HIE (+) and (–) according to MRI , the neurological disorder (+) group had higher mean HMGB ‐1. Conclusions In HIE , HMGB ‐1 differs according to the presence of BHT , suggesting that HMGB ‐1 measurement soon after birth might be useful for determining BHT necessity and short‐term outcome.
