Procalcitonin and C-Reactive Protein Are Elevated at the Threshold of Cortical Electrocerebral Silence but Do Not Track Graded EEG Severity in Critically Ill Children: A Single-Centre Retrospective Cohort Study
By Robert Mindreanu, Bogdan Florea, Denisa Ștefănescu and 5 others.
Abstract
Background
The relationship between routine inflammatory biomarkers and EEG severity in critically ill children, evaluated using visual (Synek) grading and spectral qEEG, remains unclear. The aim of our study was to examine the associations between procalcitonin (PCT), C-reactive protein (CRP) and EEG severity.
