Quantitative electroencephalogram in term neonates under different sleep states
Authors' conclusion
We determined the QEEG range in healthy neonates in different states of consciousness. Entropy beta and SEF50 were best at discriminating between awake and sleep states. QEEG were not as good at discriminating between quiet and active sleep.
Study context
- Population
- Normal term neonates, 37 to 46 weeksanalysed
- Participants
- 30 neonates
- Comparison
- Quantitative EEG (QEEG) across awake, active sleep and quiet sleep states
- Outcome
- Range of QEEG (total power, power ratio, coherence, entropy, SEF50 and SEF90) in each state and discriminatory ability (AUC-ROC) between states
Main finding
As reported in the abstract
Discrimination between states (AUC-ROC)
Awake vs active sleep: entropy beta, delta2 power %, coherence delta2 and SEF50 best; entropy beta highest AUC-ROC
≥ 0.84
Awake vs quiet sleep: entropy beta, entropy delta1, theta power % and SEF50 best; all AUC-ROC
≥ 0.78
Active vs quiet sleep: theta power % highest AUC-ROC, lower than other comparisons
> 0.69
