We read with interest A Different View entitled, "Major concerns about late hypothermia study" by Walløe, Hjort and Thoresen (1) which raised questions about a randomized clinical trial of initiating therapeutic hypothermia between 6 and 24 hours after birth (2). The Late Hypothermia trial (LH) was designed for infants whom hypothermia could not be initiated within 6 hours. Clinicians need a full appreciation of the points discussed.
