Table 1 Scoring system of amplitude integrated electroencephalography (aEEG)

From: Benefits of starting hypothermia treatment within 6 h vs. 6–12 h in newborns with moderate neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy

Score

Curve variability

SWC

Lower boundary values

Narrow-band width and lower boundary voltage

0

No variation curve

None

Seriously inhibited (< 3 μV)

Amplitude suppression: low amplitude (≤15 μV) and low voltage (5 μV)

1

Some curve, no sinusoidal ariation

Starting occurrence period

Some inhibition (3~ 5 μV)

Immaturity amplitude: high amplitude (> 20 μV) or medium amplitude (15~ 20 μV) and low voltage (5 μV)

2

Sinusoidal ariation

No clear

No inhibition (> 5 μV)

Immaturity amplitude: high amplitude (> 20 μV) and high voltage (> 5 μV)

3

 

Clear period, but suspension

 

Gradually mature amplitude: medium amplitude (15~ 20 μV) and high voltage (> 5 μV)
