In a study of 202 newborns, those who underwent aEEG monitoring had greater precision in the diagnosis of neonatal seizures than in contemporary controls with diagnosis by clinical signs alone. (ScienceDirect)

In the preterm group, mean time to initiate aEEG monitoring was 5.2 (±1.2) h of life, and pathological trace or DLVP were associated with higher rates of poor early outcome (p=0.03, PPV 90.9%, NPV 75%, RR=3.63). (Jornal de Pediatra)

However, there are several challenges that delay the translation of aEEG monitoring into clinical practice in preterm infants. A major obstacle when comparing results from different studies is due to the differences in study populations, evaluated time periods, aEEG parameters, outcome assessments, and statistical reporting (7,19,20,21).
