Thompson Score

The document appears to be describing the Thompson Score, which is a scoring system used to assess neurological function in newborns experiencing hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy. The score considers 10 criteria such as tone, level of consciousness, seizures, posture, primitive reflexes, breathing, and fontanel tension. Higher scores indicate more abnormal findings and a poorer prognosis.
