Incidence of Neonatal Seizures in China Based on Electroencephalogram Monitoring in Neonatal Neurocritical Care Units.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Neonatal seizures pose a significant challenge in critical care, and continuous video electroencephalography (cEEG) monitoring holds promise for early detection of seizures. However, large-scale data on the incidence of neonatal seizures and monitoring systems in China are lacking.

Objectives

To determine the incidence of neonatal seizures in infants with high risk in China.

Design, setting, and participants

A large, cross-sectional multicenter study was conducted from January 2017 to December 2018 in the neonatal intensive care units (NICUs) of 7 tertiary medical centers in China. Neonates with high risk were included, and cEEG monitoring was conducted. Data were collected between January 1, 2017, and January 31, 2020. The data were analyzed between Januar
