Quantitative EEG as a diagnostic and prognostic tool in hemispheric stroke patients undergoing type A aortic dissection surgery
Bibliographic record
Abstract
OBJECTIVE: The diagnostic and prognostic value of quantitative electroencephalogram (qEEG) parameters, specifically the symmetry of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG) and relative band power (RBP), in the postoperative stroke of the cerebral hemisphere following type A aortic dissection, remains an area of inquiry. METHODS: We analyzed and processed 56 patients with type A aortic dissection who underwent bedside qEEG monitoring and analyzed the qEEG indices, brain CT, and clinical data of these patients. qEEG (symmetry of aEEG and RBP, and affected/unaffected hemisphere) indices were analyzed at discharge and 60 days after discharge. RESULTS: A total of 56 patients were studied. The 60-day mortality rate was 12.5%. The affected hemisphere's diagnosis and mortality after 1-year follow-up were evaluated, and RBP beta demonstrated the highest area under the curve values with 95% confidence intervals (CI) of .849 (95% CI: .771-.928) and .91 (95% CI: .834-.986), respectively. According to the results of the logistic regression analysis, we have identified the strongest predictors for cerebral hemisphere stroke and 1-year mortality in stroke patients. Specifically, aEEGmin exhibited the highest predictive power with an odds ratio (OR) of .735 for cerebral hemisphere stroke, whereas DTABR was confirmed as one of the strongest predictors with an OR of 1.619 for 1-year mortality in stroke patients, indicating a high level of reliability. Spearman correlation coefficients showed that aEEGmax and aEEGmin were positively correlated with Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score (aEEGmax: rho = .50, p < .001; aEEGmin: rho = .44, p < .001). CONCLUSIONS: QEEG has been proven to be a sensitive indicator for monitoring brain function and can be monitored continuously. It can help clinicians detect and treat these patients early and improve long-term prognosis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
