Analysis of amplitude-integrated EEG in 309 neonates

Objective:To analyze the amplitudeintegrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) of different diseases and explore its application value in neonatal brain injury.#br# Methods:Totally 309 neonates with high risk of brain injury who were admitted to our hospital from January to December of 2018 were selected, and the aEEG examination was completed within 24 to 48 hours after admission for analysis.#br# Results:Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy of the newborn, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and the aEEG scores of neonatal seizures were compared among term infants, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The infants with Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy had the highest abnormal rate, followed by infants with convulsions. The aEEG score of premature infants changed gradually with different gestational age. Continuous voltage appeared gradually, and the sleep-wake cycle matured gradually. #br# Conclusion:The aEEG is an important method to evaluate neonatal brain function. Infants with abnormal aEEG should be paid much attention during the follow-up after discharge.

Abstract: Objective:To analyze the amplitudeintegrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) of different diseases and explore its application value in neonatal brain injury.
Methods:Totally 309 neonates with high risk of brain injury who were admitted to our hospital from January to December of 2018 were selected, and the aEEG examination was completed within 24 to 48 hours after admission for analysis.
Results:Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy of the newborn, neonatal hyperbilirubinemia, and the aEEG scores of neonatal seizures were compared among term infants, and the difference was statistically significant(P<0.05). The infants with Hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy had the highest abnormal rate, followed by infants with convulsions. The aEEG score of premature infants changed gradually with different gestational age. Continuous voltage appeared gradually, and the sleep-wake cycle matured gradually. 
Conclusion:The aEEG is an important method to evaluate neonatal brain function. Infants with abnormal aEEG should be paid much attention during the follow-up after discharge.
