Time to Epileptiform Activity and EEG Background Recovery Are Independent Predictors After Cardiac Arrest Westhall E, Rose I, Rundgren M, Bro-Jeppesen J, Kjaergaard J, Hassager C, Lindehammar H, Horn J, Ullen S, Nielsen N, Friberg H, Cronberg T. Clin Neurophysiol. 2018;129:1660-1668. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.clinph.2018.05.016 Objective: To investigate the temporal development of electroencephalogram (EEG) and prognosis.
Prospective observational substudy of the Target Temperature Management trial. Six sites performed simplified continuous EEG monitoring (cEEG) on comatose patients after cardiac arrest, blinded to treating physicians. We determined time points of recovery of a normal-voltage continuous background activity and the appearance of an epileptiform EEG, defined as abundant epileptiform discharges, periodic/rhythmic discharges, or electrographic seizure activity.
One hundred thirty-four patients were included, of which 65 had a good outcome. Early recovery of continuous background activity (within 24 hours) occurred in 72 patients and predicted good outcome since 55 (76%) had good outcome, increasing the odds for a good outcome 7 times compared to a late background recovery. Early appearance of an epileptiform EEG occurred in 38 patients and 34 (89%) had a poor outcome, increasing the odds for a poor outcome 6 times compared to a late debut. The time to background recovery and the time to epileptiform activity were highly associated with outcome and levels of neuron-specific enolase. Multiple regression analysis showed that both variables were independent predictors.
Time to epileptiform activity and background recovery are independent prognostic indicators.
Patients with early background recovery combined with late appearance of epileptiform activity may have a good outcome.

目标体温管理试验的前瞻性观察性子研究。六个研究点对心脏骤停后的昏迷患者进行简化的连续脑电图监测(cEEG),治疗医生对此不知情。我们确定了正常电压连续背景活动恢复的时间点以及癫痫样脑电图的出现情况,癫痫样脑电图定义为大量癫痫样放电、周期性/节律性放电或脑电图发作活动。
纳入 134 例患者,其中 65 例预后良好。72 例患者出现连续背景活动的早期恢复(24 小时内),且预测预后良好,因为 55 例(76%)预后良好;与背景活动恢复较晚相比,良好预后的几率增加了 7 倍。38 例患者出现癫痫样脑电图的早期出现,34 例(89%)预后不良;与出现较晚相比,不良预后的几率增加了 6 倍。背景恢复时间和癫痫样活动出现时间与预后及神经元特异性烯醇化酶水平高度相关。多元回归分析表明这两个变量都是独立的预后预测指标。
癫痫样活动出现时间和背景恢复情况是独立的预后指标。
背景活动早期恢复且癫痫样活动出现较晚的患者可能预后良好。
