Predictive value of electrophysiology in children with hypoxic coma

Abstract

Assessment of prognosis of children in hypoxic coma is difficult. The value of clinical evaluation is often limited. The usefulness of electrophysiologic tests has been documented mostly in adults and neonates and in cases of traumatic coma. We reviewed retrospectively 39 consecutive children with nontraumatic hypoxic coma to assess the prognostic value of EEG, visual, and auditory evoked potentials. Correlation between electrophysiology and neurologic outcome after mean follow-up period of 30 months was significant (r(s) = 0.6, P < 0.001). In contrast there was no correlation between Pediatric Risk of Mortality score (PRISM) and outcome (r(s) = -0.42, P = 0.8). Combining magnetic resonance imaging with electrophysiology further enhanced their prognostic value (r(s) = 0.69, P < 0.001). Neuroimaging was highly sensitive but less specific, and electrophysiologic tests were highly specific but less sensitive. We conclude that early electrophysiology can contribute to predicting outcome in pediatric hypoxic coma.
