Popis: | Purpose Electroencephalography (EEG) is an effective test in predicting severe cortical dysfunction associated with poor outcomes in adult patients, but its value in pediatric patients remains incomplete. Here, we assessed the prognostic value of EEG regarding sedative history and various etiologies in pediatric patients who had undergone EEGs at the pediatric intensive care unit of Severance Hospital for 5 years. Methods We performed a retrospective study of total 113 pediatric patients who met our criteria. In-hospital mortality was measured for the primary outcome. Results In-hospital mortality was observed in 43 patients (38.1%) and sedatives were used in 37 patients (32.7%). Patients who showed in-hospital mortality were more like to have higher EEG background scores and absent EEG reactivity (P |
