Abstract
Objective
To systematically review the literature on the associations between electroencephalogram (EEG) and brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) measures in preterm infants (gestational age < 37 weeks).
Methods
A comprehensive search was performed in PubMed and EMBASE databases up to February 12th, 2024. Non-relevant studies were eliminated following the PRISMA guidelines.
Results
Ten out of 991 identified studies were included. Brain MRI metrics used in these studies include volumes, cortical features, microstructural integrity, visual assessments, and cerebral linear measurements. EEG parameters were classified as qualitative (Burdjalov maturity score, seizure burden, and background activity) or quantitative (discontinuity, spectral content, amplitude, and connectivity). Among them, discontinuity and the Burdjalov score were most frequently examined. Higher discontinuity was associated with reduced brain volume, cortical surface, microstructural integrity, and linear measurements. The Burdjalov score related to brain maturation qualitatively assessed on MRI. No other consistent correlations could be established due to the variability across studies.
Conclusions
The reviewed studies utilized a variety of EEG and MRI measurements, while discontinuity and the Burdjalov score stood out as significant indicators of structural brain development.
Significance
This review, for the first time, provides an extensive overview of EEG-MRI associations in preterm infants, potentially facilitating their clinical application.
期刊介绍：
As of January 1999, The journal Electroencephalography and Clinical Neurophysiology, and its two sections Electromyography and Motor Control and Evoked Potentials have amalgamated to become this journal - Clinical Neurophysiology.
Clinical Neurophysiology is the official journal of the International Federation of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Brazilian Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Czech Society of Clinical Neurophysiology, the Italian Clinical Neurophysiology Society and the International Society of Intraoperative Neurophysiology.The journal is dedicated to fostering research and disseminating information on all aspects of both normal and abnormal functioning of the nervous system. The key aim of the publication is to disseminate scholarly reports on the pathophysiology underlying diseases of the central and peripheral nervous system of human patients. Clinical trials that use neurophysiological measures to document change are encouraged, as are manuscripts reporting data on integrated neuroimaging of central nervous function including, but not limited to, functional MRI, MEG, EEG, PET and other neuroimaging modalities.
