Multicenter Study Observational Study
Risk factors for EEG seizures in neonates treated with hypothermia: a multicenter cohort study.
To assess the risk factors for electrographic seizures among neonates treated with therapeutic hypothermia for hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). ⋯ Electrographic seizures are common among neonates with HIE undergoing hypothermia and are difficult to predict based on clinical features. These results justify the recommendation for cEEG monitoring in neonates treated with hypothermia.
