Abstract

Purpose:Hypoxic-ischemic brain injury (HIBI) can cause coma.Several factors may affect the outcome after HIBI and prediction of the prognosis is challenging in clinical practice.Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) and Electroencephalogram (EEG) are two reliable tools to predict the possible outcome after brain damage.We aimed to test the utility of MRI and EEG in predicting the outcome by exploring specific lesion and electrophysiological patterns. 
 Method:Patients who had admitted to the intensive care unit (ICU) due to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury between January 2017 and March 2020 were retrospectively reviewed.Patients over 18 years of age with a history of cardiac arrest or respiratory problems leading to hypoxic-ischemic brain injury were included in the study.Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) was used for the level of consciousness.All patients had a Glasgow Coma Score (GCS) of
