OP79 – 2987: Comparison of two different scoring systems for amplitude-integrated EEG in premature infants and correlation with the neurodevelopmental outcome

Objective The amplitude-integrated EEG (aEEG) is becoming more important to monitor brain activity in premature infants. Studies have shown that early aEEGs correlate with later neurodevelopmental outcome. Various scoring systems for the assessment of aEEGs are being used, which complicates the comparison of published data. The aim of our study was to compare two scoring systems for aEEG and correlate with the neurodevelopmental outcome. Methods 114 preterm infants (gestational age (GA) Results Both total scores (p Conclusion Both scoring systems allow a simple classification of aEEGs. The Burdjalov score shows specific differences for the GA, while the aEEG sum score correlates better with the later outcome.
