Popis: AIM Multimodal prognostication in comatose patients after cardiac arrest (CA) is complicated by the fact that different modalities are usually not independent. Here we set out to systematically correlate early EEG and MRI findings. METHODS 89 adult patients from a prospective register who underwent at least one EEG and one MRI in the acute phase after CA were included. The EEGs were characterized using pre-existent standardized categories (highly malignant, malignant, benign). For MRIs, the apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) was computed in pre-defined regions. We then introduced a novel classification based on the topography of ADC reduction (MR-lesion pattern (MLP) 1: no lesion; MLP 2: purely cortical lesions; MLP 3: involvement of the basal ganglia; MLP 4 involvement of other deep grey matter regions). RESULTS EEG background reactivity and EEG background continuity were strongly associated with a higher MLP value (p
