This study aimed to determine the diagnostic role of systemic inflammatory indices (SII, PIV, SIRI, NLR, PLR, MLR) in infants with moderate-to-severe Hypoxic Ischemic Encephalopathy (HIE) and the effect of hypothermia treatment. The HIE group showed significantly higher levels of NLR, SII, PIV, and SIRI compared to controls. These indices significantly decreased after therapeutic hypothermia. An elevated NLR level above 1.12 was found to be an independent predictor for HIE.
