Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) show promise for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborns with birth asphyxia. However, their predictive accuracy in preterm infants remains debated, with varying reported sensitivities and specificities.

Area of Science:

  • Neonatal neurology
  • Neurophysiology

Background:

  • Visual evoked potentials (VEPs) are electrophysiological tests measuring the visual pathway's integrity.
  • Assessing neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborns is crucial for early intervention.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the predictive value of VEPs for neurodevelopmental outcomes in newborns.
  • To evaluate the consistency of VEP prognostic capabilities across different infant populations.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of studies investigating VEPs in newborns.
  • Analysis of correlations between VEP results and neurodevelopmental assessments.

Main Results:

  • VEPs show a strong correlation with neurodevelopmental outcomes in full-term infants experiencing birth asphyxia.

  • The prognostic value of VEPs in preterm infants is inconsistent, with high specificity but variable sensitivity reported across studies.

    • Conclusions:

    • VEPs are a valuable tool for predicting neurodevelopmental outcomes in term infants post-asphyxia.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the role and refine the interpretation of VEPs for prognostication in preterm infants.
