In this episode of Journal Club, we wrap up a marathon recording session with a deep dive into the world of neonatal neuroprognostication. Daphna reviews a systematic review and meta-analysis from Pediatric Neurology that evaluates whether combining EEG and MRI provides better answers for families of preterm infants. While MRI remains a powerful tool for structural assessment, the data suggests that adding the functional insights of EEG significantly boosts specificity, particularly when predicting severe neurodevelopmental outcomes. We discuss the importance of timing these studies and the clinical value of sleep-wake cycling as a developmental milestone at the bedside.
