Neonates who undergo cEEG are at high risk for seizures, and risk varies by monitoring indication and early EEG findings. Seizures are captured in nearly all neonates undergoing monitoring for SCE within 24 hours of cEEG monitoring. Neonates monitored for OHR and ANE can present with delayed seizures and require longer durations of monitoring. Early epileptiform discharges are the best early EEG feature to predict seizure risk.
