abstract = {Background In intensive care unit (ICU) patients with coma
and other disorders of consciousness (DoC), outcome
prediction is key to decision-making regarding
prognostication, neurorehabilitation, and management of
family expectations. Current prediction algorithms are
largely based on chronic DoC, while multimodal data from
acute DoC are scarce. Therefore, CONNECT-ME (Consciousness
in neurocritical care cohort study using EEG and fMRI,
NCT02644265) investigates ICU-patients with acute DoC due to
traumatic and non-traumatic brain injuries, utilizing EEG
(resting-state and passive paradigms), fMRI (resting-state)
and systematic clinical examinations.Methods We previously
presented results for a subset of patients (n=87) concerning
prediction of consciousness levels at ICU discharge. Now, we
report 3- and 12-month outcomes in an extended cohort
(n=123). Favourable outcome was defined as modified Rankin
Scale ≤3, Cerebral Performance Category ≤2, and Glasgow
Outcome Scale-Extended ≥4. EEG-features included
visual-grading, automated spectral categorization, and
Support Vector Machine (SVM) consciousness classifier.
fMRI-features included functional connectivity measures from
six resting-state networks. Random-Forest and SVM machine
learning were applied to EEG- and fMRI-features to predict
outcomes. Here, Random-Forest results are presented as area
under the curve (AUC) of receiver operating curves or
accuracy. Cox proportional regression with in-hospital death
as competing risk was used to assess independent clinical
predictors of time to favourable outcome.Results Between
April-2016 and July-2021, we enrolled 123 patients (mean age
51 years, $42\%$ women). Of 82 $(66\%)$ ICU-survivors, 3-
and 12-month outcomes were available for 79 $(96\%)$ and 77
$(94\%),$ respectively. EEG-features predicted both 3-month
(AUC 0.79[0.77-0.82] and 12-month (0.74[0.71-0.77])
outcomes. fMRI-features appeared to predict 3-month outcome
(accuracy 0.69-0.78) both alone and when combined with some
EEG-features (accuracies 0.73-0.84), but not 12-month
outcome (larger sample sizes needed). Independent clinical
predictors of time to favourable outcome were younger age
(Hazards-Ratio $1.04[95\%$ CI 1.02-1.06]), TBI
(1.94[1.04-3.61]), command-following abilities at admission
(2.70[1.40-5.23]), initial brain-imaging without severe
pathology (2.42[1.12-5.22]), improving consciousness in the
ICU (5.76[2.41-15.51]), and favourable visual-graded EEG
(2.47[1.46-4.19]).Conclusion For the first time, our results
indicate that EEG- and fMRI-features and readily available
clinical data reliably predict short-term outcome of
patients with acute DoC, and EEG also predicts 12-month
outcome after ICU discharge.},
