Abstract
- Spontaneous intermittent generalized attenuations (SIGAs) are defined as a transient decrease in amplitude of electroencephalography (EEG) activity in response to a physiologic process, external stimuli, or as a result of a pathologic condition. We seek to investigate their relationship to clinical outcomes. Demographic information, modified Rankin Scale (mRS), and clinical information were noted on 22 consecutive patients with SIGAs on their EEG. 12 of the 22 patients (54.5%) died, and 12 patients (54.5%) were admitted to the intensive care unit or coronary care unit. Future studies should attempt to prospectively compare outcomes among patients with SIGAs against a control group.
