Does the first hour of continuous electroencephalography predict neonatal seizures?

Objective Prolonged continuous video-electroencephalography (cEEG) is recommended for neonates at risk of seizures. The cost and expertise required to provide a real-time response to detected seizures often limits its utility. We hypothesised that the first hour of cEEG could predict subsequent seizures. Design and setting Retrospective multicentre diagnostic accuracy study. Patients 266 term neonates at risk of seizure or with suspected...
