Effectiveness of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography combined with neuron-specific enolase level in predicting neonatal brain injury and prognosis.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
objectiveTo investigate the value of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) combined with neuron-specific enolase (NSE) in the diagnosis and prognostic assessment of neonatal brain injury.
methodsClinical data from 94 neonates with brain injury and 90 neonates without, admitted to Baoji Maternity and Child Healthcare Hospital between September 2022 and February 2024, were retrospectively analyzed. The relationship between aEEG score, NSE level, and Neurobehavioral Neurological Assay (NBNA) score was analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis. Independent factors affecting the prognosis of the neonates were identified by unifactorial and multifactorial analyses, and the predictive value was assessed using ROC curves.
resultsThe aEEG score was significantly lower while the NSE level was considerably higher in newborns with brain injury compared to those without (both P<0.001). aEEG score was positively correlated with the NBNA score (r=0.718, P<0.001), NSE level was negatively correlated with NBNA score (r=-0.785, P<0.001), and aEEG score was negatively correlated with NSE level (r=-0.749, P<0.001). The aEEG score and NSE level demonstrated good predictive value for neonatal brain injury, with AUC values of 0.903 and 0.897, respectively. The AUC of combined assessment was 0.917. Multifactorial analysis showed that intrauterine distress (OR: 3.385, 95% CI: 1.033-11.903, P=0.048) and higher NSE level (OR: 1.516, 95% CI: 1.117-2.136, P=0.011) were independent risk factors for poor prognosis of neonates with brain injury, while higher aEEG scores (OR: 0.587, 95% CI: 0.370-0.884, P=0.015) was an independent protective factor. Intrauterine distress, aEEG score, and NSE predicted poor prognostic outcomes with AUCs of 0.639, 0.809, and 0.827, and the combined diagnosis had an AUC of 0.871.
conclusionaEEG combined with NSE level can effectively predict neonatal brain injury and prognosis, providing a valuable reference for early diagnosis and intervention.
