The aim of this study was to examine the predictive value of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) on 12-month seizure outcomes of infants with neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) treated with therapeutic hypothermia.
We conducted this retrospective cohort study in a tertiary neonatal intensive care unit between May 2012 and September 2017. Neonates with HIE who received both therapeutic hypothermia (TH) and aEEG were enrolled.
A total of 23 infants (14 boys, nine girls) with a mean gestational age of 38.9 weeks were enrolled. Fifteen (65%) infants had moderate HIE and eight (35%) had severe HIE according to modified Sarnat staging. The mean aEEG recording time was 107.5 h. Twenty (86.9%) infants had seizure activity during the first 24 h after cooling and 14 (60.8%) had seizure activity during the first 24 h after rewarming. At 12 months, five (21.7%) infants had poor seizure outcomes. Repetitive seizures or status epilepticus pattern during the first 24 h after rewarming, but not the first 24 h after cooling, were associated with the presence of epilepsy at 12 months (p = 0.037).
We identified a high incidence of electrographic seizures in infants with neonatal HIE treated with therapeutic hypothermia, and post-neonatal epilepsy in the children who survived after HIE. Repetitive seizures or status epilepticus pattern during the first 24 h after rewarming, but not in the first 24 h after cooling, were associated with the presence of epilepsy at 12 months.
本研究旨在探讨接受治疗性低温治疗的新生儿缺氧缺血性脑病(HIE)患儿振幅整合脑电图(aEEG)对 12 个月时癫痫发作结局的预测价值。
我们在 2012 年 5 月至 2017 年 9 月期间在一家三级新生儿重症监护病房进行了这项回顾性队列研究。纳入接受治疗性低温治疗(TH)和 aEEG 的 HIE 新生儿。
共纳入 23 名婴儿(14 名男婴,9 名女婴),平均胎龄为 38.9 周。根据改良 Sarnat 分期,15 名(65%)婴儿为中度 HIE,8 名(35%)婴儿为重度 HIE。aEEG 记录时间平均为 107.5 小时。20 名(86.9%)婴儿在冷却后 24 小时内有癫痫发作,14 名(60.8%)婴儿在复温后 24 小时内有癫痫发作。12 个月时,5 名(21.7%)婴儿癫痫发作结局较差。复温后 24 小时内出现反复癫痫发作或癫痫持续状态模式,而不是冷却后 24 小时内,与 12 个月时存在癫痫有关(p=0.037)。
我们发现接受治疗性低温治疗的新生儿 HIE 患儿存在较高的脑电图癫痫发作发生率,且 HIE 存活后儿童出现新生儿期后癫痫。复温后 24 小时内出现反复癫痫发作或癫痫持续状态模式,而不是冷却后 24 小时内,与 12 个月时存在癫痫有关。
