The Sarnat score is an essential component in the assessment and evaluation of the infant with neonatal encephalopathy. This clinical tool provides physicians with a standardised approach to systematic neurological examination and documentation of pertinent neurological findings. The value of the Sarnat Score has increased with the advent of therapeutic hypothermia and the need to evaluate the neurological response to treatment.
