Sumario:To investigate electroencephalogram (EEG) features’ relation with mortality or functional outcome after disorder of consciousness, stratifying patients between continuous EEG and routine EEG. DESIGN: Retrospective analysis of data from a randomized controlled trial. SETTING: Multiple adult ICUs. PATIENTS: Data from 364 adults with acute disorder of consciousness, randomized to continuous EEG (30–48 hr; n = 182) or repeated 20-minute routine electroencephalogram (n = 182). INTERVENTIONS: None. MEASUREMENTS AND MAIN RESULTS: Correlations between electrographic features and mortality and modified Rankin scale at 6 months (good 0–2) were assessed. Background continuity, higher frequency, and reactivity correlated with survival and good modified Rankin scale. Rhythmic and periodic patterns carried dual prognostic information: lateralized periodic discharges were associated with mortality and bad modified Rankin scale. Generalized rhythmic delta activity correlated with survival, good modified Rankin scale, and lower occurrence of status epilepticus. Presence of sleep-spindles and continuous EEG background was associated with good outcome in the continuous EEG subgroup. In the routine EEG group, a model combining background frequency, continuity, reactivity, sleep-spindles, and lateralized periodic discharges was associated with mortality at 70.91% (95% CI, 59.62–80.10%) positive predictive value and 63.93% (95% CI, 58.67–68.89%) negative predictive value. In the continuous EEG group, a model combining background continuity, reactivity, generalized rhythmic delta activity, and lateralized periodic discharges was associated with mortality at 84.62% (95%CI, 75.02–90.97) positive predictive value and 74.77% (95% CI, 68.50–80.16) negative predictive value. CONCLUSIONS: Standardized EEG interpretation provides reliable prognostic information. Continuous EEG provides more information than routine EEG.
