Abstract:
In order to explore the prediction effect of amplitude-integrated EEG on the brain damage and long-term nervous system development of late preterm infants, this paper uses the hospital's late preterm infants as the research object and analyzes the prediction effect of amplitude-integrated EEG on the brain damage and long-term nervous system development of late preterm infants through controlled trials. Among them, the test group used amplitude-integrated EEG for prediction analysis, and the control group used traditional clinical prediction methods. Furthermore, the real-time monitoring and short-term prediction effects of amplitude-integrated EEG on brain damage in late preterm babies and the prediction impact on long-term nervous system development are evaluated in this study. It incorporates statistical techniques to evaluate the findings statistically. In addition, a nonparametric rank-sum test is used in this work, and a chi-square test is used to compare enumeration data across groups. Through experimental research, it can be seen that the amplitude-integrated EEG has a pronounced prediction effect on the brain damage and long-term nervous system development of late preterm infants, and the effect is higher than that of the traditional clinical prediction methods.
