Résumé
It is important to assess the degree of brain injury and predict long-term outcomes in neonates diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). However, routine studies, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional encephalography (EEG) or amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG), have their own limitations in terms of availability and accuracy of evaluation. Recently, quantitative EEG (qEEG) has been shown to improve the predictive reliability of neonatal HIE and has been further refined with brain mapping techniques. We investigated background EEG activities in 29 neonates with HIE who experienced therapeutic hypothermia, via qEEG using a distributed source model. MRI images were evaluated and classified into two groups (normal-to-mild injury vs moderate-to-severe injury), based on a scoring system. Non-parametric statistical analysis using standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography was performed to compare the current density distribution of four frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, and beta) between the two groups. Electrical neuronal activities were significantly lower in the moderate-to-severe injury group compared with the normal-to-mild injury group. Background EEG activities in moderate-to-severe HIE were most significantly reduced in the temporal and parietal lobes. Quantitative EEG also revealed a decrease in background activity at all frequency bands, with a maximum in decrease in the delta component. The maximum difference in current density was found in the inferior parietal lobule of the right parietal lobe for the delta frequency band. Our study demonstrated quantitative and topographical changes in EEG in moderate-to-severe neonatal HIE. They also suggest possible implementation and evaluation of conventional EEG and aEEG in neonatal HIE. The findings have implications as biomarkers in the assessment of neonatal HIE.

BACKGROUND
BACKGROUND
It is important to assess the degree of brain injury and predict long-term outcomes in neonates diagnosed with hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE). However, routine studies, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and conventional encephalography (EEG) or amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG), have their own limitations in terms of availability and accuracy of evaluation. Recently, quantitative EEG (qEEG) has been shown to improve the predictive reliability of neonatal HIE and has been further refined with brain mapping techniques.
METHODS
METHODS
We investigated background EEG activities in 29 neonates with HIE who experienced therapeutic hypothermia, via qEEG using a distributed source model. MRI images were evaluated and classified into two groups (normal-to-mild injury vs moderate-to-severe injury), based on a scoring system. Non-parametric statistical analysis using standardized low-resolution brain electromagnetic tomography was performed to compare the current density distribution of four frequency bands (delta, theta, alpha, and beta) between the two groups.
RESULTS
RESULTS
Electrical neuronal activities were significantly lower in the moderate-to-severe injury group compared with the normal-to-mild injury group. Background EEG activities in moderate-to-severe HIE were most significantly reduced in the temporal and parietal lobes. Quantitative EEG also revealed a decrease in background activity at all frequency bands, with a maximum in decrease in the delta component. The maximum difference in current density was found in the inferior parietal lobule of the right parietal lobe for the delta frequency band.
CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS
Our study demonstrated quantitative and topographical changes in EEG in moderate-to-severe neonatal HIE. They also suggest possible implementation and evaluation of conventional EEG and aEEG in neonatal HIE. The findings have implications as biomarkers in the assessment of neonatal HIE.
