Influence of Intensive Care Unit Enlightenment on Premature Infants on Functional Brain Maturation Assessed by Amplitude-Integrated Electroencephalograph.

The difference observed between groups in terms of narrowband lower amplitude in the first measurement may reflect the effect of intrauterine environment rather than enlightenment at the same gestational age because it was made on the third day. However, the fact that all groups have similar results on day 10 suggests that other factors in the intensive care setting may diminish the effect of enlightenment. Burdjalov scores are associated with maturation, and high scores found in the 34- to 35-week group suggest that the 34-week maturation might be a threshold for SWC and development in our group sample.
