Association of EEG Background With Diffusion-Weighted Magnetic Resonance Neuroimaging and Short-Term Outcomes After Pediatric Cardiac Arrest.

Early EEG background category was associated with MRI ischemia after pediatric CA. Combining EEG and MRI data yielded higher outcome predictive accuracy than either modality alone. The addition of MRI ischemia to clinical variables and EEG background improved short-term outcome prediction.
