The evolution of a simplified method for interpretation of EEG in the preterm neonate.
We describe the evolution of a simplified method for the interpretation of serial EEG in preterm neonates which was tested in a first sample and revised and improved in a second sample of preterm neonates. There were 185 EEGs in the first sample and 206 EEGs in the second sample. The interpretation of the EEGs was related to mental, motor and neurological outcome in late infancy. Serial EEG is an excellent indicator of brain function in the preterm neonate.
