Which Neurological Examinations can be used to Predict Outcome During the Neonatal Period?

Abstract

In this review I shall discuss the prognostic value of the clinical neurological examination, the EEG (and the various methods of recording it), evoked responses, and Doppler ultrasound measurements of cerebral blood velocity. Imaging modalities (ultrasound, CT, MRI) will be dealt with elsewhere under discussion of their diagnostic value.
