This study aimed to identify the leading entry criteria initiating therapeutic hypothermia (TH) using data from the German Hypothermia Registry.We retrospectively analyzed 262 asphyxiated newborn infants treated with TH across 74 neonatal units in Germany. Clinical and metabolic parameters and neurological assessments were recorded before the initiation of TH using a standardised electronic form in REDCap, a secure web-based platform for clinical research. Correlations between metabolic indicators (pH, base deficit, lactate) and neurological assessments, including Sarnat score, Thompson score and initial amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) were examined.Mean gestational age was 39.4 ± 1.7 weeks. Acidosis and abnormal aEEG patterns were the most frequent criteria initiating treatment. Lower pH was strongly associated with abnormal aEEG (odds ratio 0.02, 95% confidence interval 0.002-0.19, p < 0.01). Base deficit and lactate showed weaker, non-significant associations. Lower 10-min Apgar scores predicted abnormal aEEG (odds ratio 0.77, 95% confidence interval 0.69-0.87, p < 0.001).Severe acidosis (pH < 7.0) was significantly associated with abnormal aEEG patterns, the main determinant initiating TH. Identifying abnormal aEEG patterns is essential for confirming moderate to severe encephalopathy and guiding treatment. 000283187 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-352$$a352 - Disease Mechanisms (POF4-352)$$cPOF4-352$$fPOF IV$$x0 000283187 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, PubMed, , Journals: pub.dzne.de 000283187 650_7 $$2Other$$aamplitude‐integrated electroencephalography 000283187 650_7 $$2Other$$ahypoxic–ischemic encephalopathy 000283187 650_7 $$2Other$$ainclusion criteria for therapeutic hypothermia 000283187 650_7 $$2Other$$aperinatal asphyxia 000283187 650_7 $$2Other$$atherapeutic hypothermia 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHumans 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aHypothermia, Induced 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aInfant, Newborn 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAsphyxia Neonatorum: therapy 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAsphyxia Neonatorum: complications 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAsphyxia Neonatorum: physiopathology 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aElectroencephalography 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aAcidosis: etiology 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aRetrospective Studies 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aRegistries 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aMale 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aGermany 000283187 650_2 $$2MeSH$$aFemale 000283187 7001_ $$aGroteklaes, Anne$$b1 000283187 7001_ $$aDresbach, Till$$b2 000283187 7001_ $$00000-0003-3794-5430$$aMüller, Andreas$$b3 000283187 7001_ $$0P:(DE-2719)9000732$$aSabir, Hemmen$$b4$$eLast author$$udzne 000283187 7001_ $$aRegistry, German Hypothermia$$b5$$eCollaboration Author 000283187 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1492629-5$$a10.1111/apa.70360$$gVol. 115, no. 2, p. 482 - 490$$n2$$p482 - 490$$tActa paediatrica$$v115$$x0001-656X$$y2026 000283187 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/283187/files/DZNE-2026-00066.pdf$$yRestricted 000283187 8564_ $$uhttps://pub.dzne.de/record/283187/files/DZNE-2026-00066.pdf?subformat=pdfa$$xpdfa$$yRestricted 000283187 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588)1065079516$$6P:(DE-2719)9000732$$aDeutsches Zentrum für Neurodegenerative Erkrankungen$$b4$$kDZNE 000283187 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF4-352$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF4-350$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF4-300$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF4$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bGesundheit$$lNeurodegenerative Diseases$$vDisease Mechanisms$$x0 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)3001$$2StatID$$aDEAL Wiley$$d2023-10-21$$wger 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR$$bACTA PAEDIATR : 2022$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0600$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEbsco Academic Search$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0030$$2StatID$$aPeer Review$$bASC$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bClarivate Analytics Master Journal List$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1050$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBIOSIS Previews$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0113$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1030$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Life Sciences$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1190$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bBiological Abstracts$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0160$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bEssential Science Indicators$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1110$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Clinical Medicine$$d2023-10-21 000283187 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5$$d2023-10-21 000283187 9201_ $$0I:(DE-2719)5000032$$kAG Sabir$$lNeonatal Neuroscience$$x0 000283187 980__ $$ajournal 000283187 980__ $$aEDITORS 000283187 980__ $$aVDBINPRINT 000283187 980__ $$aI:(DE-2719)5000032 000283187 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED
