Adult discharge records reporting mechanical ventilation and EEG (routine EEG or cEEG) were included. cEEG was compared with routine EEG alone in association with the primary outcome of in-hospital mortality and secondary outcomes of total hospital charges and length of stay. Demographics, hospital characteristics, and medical comorbidity were used for multivariate adjustments of the primary and secondary outcomes.<h4>Results</h4>A total of 40,945 patNeurology2002-8https://www.ebi.ac.uk/biostudies/studies/S-EPMC3854828biostudies-literatureContinuous and routine EEG in intensive care: utilization and outcomes, United States 2005-2009.PMC3854828Nuwer MRNey JPvan der Goes DNNelson LEccher MAfalseContinuous and routine EEG in intensive care: utilization and outcomes, United States 2005-2009.<h4>Objectives</h4>To evaluate the effect of intensive care unit continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring on inpatient mortality, hospital charges, and length of stay.<h4>Methods</h4>A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted using the Nationwide Inpatient Sample, a dataset representing 20% of inpatient discharges in nonfederal US hospitals.
