Amplitude integrated EEG: how much it helps in prognostication in neonatal encephalopathy?

Clinical staging and aEEG has good predictive ability to detect an adverse neurological outcome. aEEG improves the ability to predict abnormal outcome in babies with moderate encephalopathy. Early recovery of aEEG abnormality correlates with better neurodevelopmental outcomes.KEY MESSAGES: aEEG is a useful modality to assess neurodevelopmental outcomes however data from developing countries is lacking.: aEEG monitoring in babies in neonatal encephalopathy may improve the prediction of abnormal neurological outcomes in babies with moderate encephalopathy.
