Title: EEG functional connectivity contributes to outcome prediction of postanoxic coma. Author: Carrasco-Gómez M, Keijzer HM, Ruijter BJ, Bruña R, Tjepkema-Cloostermans MC, Hofmeijer J, van Putten MJAM. Journal: Clin Neurophysiol; 2021 Jun; 132(6):1312-1320. PubMed ID: 33867260. Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the additional value of EEG functional connectivity features, in addition to non-coupling EEG features, for outcome prediction of comatose patients after cardiac arrest. METHODS: Prospective, multicenter cohort study. Coherence, phase locking value, and mutual information were calculated in 19-channel EEGs at 12 h, 24 h and 48 h after cardiac arrest. Three sets of machine learning classification models were trained and validated with functional connectivity, EEG non-coupling features, and a combination of these. Neurological outcome was assessed at six months and categorized as "good" (Cerebral Performance Category [CPC] 1-2) or "poor" (CPC 3-5). RESULTS: We included 594 patients (46% good outcome). A sensitivity of 51% (95% CI: 34-56%) at 100% specificity in predicting poor outcome was achieved by the best functional connectivity-based classifier at 12 h after cardiac arrest, while the best non-coupling-based model reached a sensitivity of 32% (0-54%) at 100% specificity using data at 12 h and 48 h. Combination of both sets of features achieved a sensitivity of 73% (50-77%) at 100% specificity. CONCLUSION: Functional connectivity measures improve EEG based prediction models for poor outcome of postanoxic coma. SIGNIFICANCE: Functional connectivity features derived from early EEG hold potential to improve outcome prediction of coma after cardiac arrest.[Abstract] [Full Text] [Related] [New Search]
