Abstract

Objective To analyze the correlation between amplitude-integrated electroencephalogram (aEEG) follow-up indicators and the neurological prognosis in very low birth weight infants. Methods A total of 224 very low birth weight infants delivered from January 2016 to January 2019 were selected for aEEG monitoring within one week after birth and at 3, 6 and 12 months of corrected gestational age. According to the neurological development outcome at 12 months of corrected gestational age, the infants were divided into normal group and abnormal group, and the difference of aEEG monitoring score between the two groups was compared. Results A total of 224 very low birth weight infants (125 boys and 99 girls) were included, the gestational age was (30.01±1.49) weeks and the birth weight was (1366.64±119.43) g. At 12 months of corrected gestational age, the nervous system development outcome was normal in 153 cases and abnormal in 71 cases. Within one week of birth, there was a statistically significant difference in sleep cycle (Cy) and total (T) scores between normal and abnormal groups (P<0.05). There were significant differences in graph continuity (Co), Cy and T scores between the two groups at 3 and 6 months of corrected gestational age (P<0.05). At 12 months of corrected gestational age, there were significant differences in Co, lower bound amplitude (LB), Cy, bandwidth (B) and T scores between the two groups (P<0.05). Binary logistic regression analysis showed that Co, Cy and T scores in aEEG monitoring indexes at 12 months of corrected gestational age were significantly correlated with the nervous system development outcome of very low birth weight infants (P<0.01), and the lower the score, the greater the risk of abnormal neurodevelopmental outcome. By drawing ROC curve, Co and T scores of aEEG at 12 months of gestational age were found to have moderate predictive value for the neurological outcome of very low birth weight infants (AUC 0.71 and 0.82). Conclusions The aEEG follow-up indicators are correlated with the neurological prognosis in very low birth weight infants and have certain predictive value.
