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

EEG and MRI features are independently associated with pediatric cardiac arrest (CA) outcomes, but it is unclear whether their combination improves outcome prediction. We aimed to assess the association of early EEG background category with MRI ischemia after pediatric CA and determine whether addition of MRI ischemia to EEG background features and clinical variables improves short-term outcome prediction.
