Early qualitative and quantitative amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram and raw electroencephalogram for predicting long-term neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm infants in the Netherlands: a 10-year cohort study

Background: Extremely preterm infants (<28 weeks of gestation) are at great risk of long-term neurodevelopmental impairments. Early amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) accompanied by raw EEG traces (aEEG−EEG) has potential for predicting subsequent outcomes in preterm infants. We aimed to determine whether and which qualitative and quantitative aEEG–EEG features obtained within the first postnatal days predict neurodevelopmental outcomes in extremely preterm infants. Methods: This study retrospectively analysed a cohort of extremely preterm infants (born before 28 weeks and 0 d... Mehr ...
