Description of intervention(s) / exposure
Informed parental consent will be obtained in all cases prior to data collection. Once the parental consent is obtained, following data will be collected as part of the study.

Continuous physiological measurement during the first 72hrs:

1. Cerebral regional oxygenation (using INVOSTM 5100c/ OXYALERTTM NIRSensor Infant/Neonatal)
2. Arterial blood pressure*
3. End-tidal CO2*
4. Peripheral arterial saturation*

* These physiological measurements are part of routine clinical care in this cohort of patients.

Non-continuous investigations:
1. Urinary biomarkers of hypoxic/ischaemic brain injury (urine will be collected non-invasively)
2. Brain perfusion pressure (Middle Cerebral Artery Blood Flow Velocity) using Doppler ultrasound
3. Cranial ultrasound scan (CUSS)**
4. Cardiac echocardiography**
5. MRI brain at term-equivalent age
6. Bayley Infants Neurodevelopmental Scales**

** These investigations are part of routine clinical care in this cohort of patients. However, additional CUSS may be performed for the purpose of the study.

Patient characteristics:
The following demographic and clinical information will be gathered as part of the study

1. Maternal demographics
2. Relevant maternal past medical, antenatal and perinatal history
3. Infant’s perinatal and postnatal history
