{Abstract}: OBJECTIVE: This study aims to describe the total EEG energy during episodes of intracranial hypertension (IH) and evaluate its potential as a classification feature for IH.
METHODS: We computed the sample correlation coefficient between intracranial pressure (ICP) and the total EEG energy. Additionally, a generalized additive model was employed to assess the relationship between arterial blood pressure (ABP), total EEG energy, and the odds of IH.
RESULTS: The median sample cross-correlation between total EEG energy and ICP was 0.7, and for cerebral perfusion pressure (CPP) was 0.55. Moreover, the proposed model exhibited an accuracy of 0.70, sensitivity of 0.53, specificity of 0.79, precision of 0.54, F1-score of 0.54, and an AUC of 0.7.
METHODS: The only existing comparable methods, up to our knowledge, use 13 variables as predictor of IH, our model uses only 3, our model, as it is an extension of the generalized model is interpretable and it achieves the same performance.
CONCLUSIONS: These findings hold promise for the advancement of multimodal monitoring systems in neurocritical care and the development of a non-invasive ICP monitoring tool, particularly in resource-constrained environments.
