While previous research has focused on single modality neuromonitoring biomarkers to predict neurodevelopmental impairment (NDI) at 2 years of age, there remains significant gap in exploring the potential of multimodal physiological signal biomarkers to improve predictive accuracy. This study aimed to evaluate multimodal quantitative neuromonitoring biomarkers within the first day of life to improve prediction of NDI.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Methods: &lt;/strong&gt;This prospective cohort study enrolled newborns (≥36 weeks) diagnosed with HIE at Parkland Hospital in Dallas, TX. A Sarnat examination was performed to determine the severity of HIE within the first 6 h of life, and the Total Sarnat Score (TSS) was calculated. Newborns with moderate and severe HIE received therapeutic hypothermia (TH). Neuronal noninvasive biomarkers including electroencephalogram (EEG) delta power (DP, 0.5-4 Hz) and neurovascular coupling (NVC), calculated as wavelet coherence between amplitude-integrated EEG and cerebral tissue oxygen saturation (SctO2), were measured. NDI was defined as death or a cognitive score &lt;85 on the Bayley Scales of Infant and Toddler Development. The predictive ability of individual biomarkers (TSS, DP, and NVC) and their combination for NDI was evaluated using receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curves, with the area under the ROC curve (AUC) indicating prediction accuracy. Additionally, a Net Reclassification Index (NRI) analysis was conducted to assess the predictive performance of the three baseline models (TSS, DP, and NVC).&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Results: &lt;/strong&gt;Forty-six newborns with mild to severe HIE were enrolled and neuromonitoring was initiated at 12 ± 6 h of life. Death or NDI was diagnosed in 18 (6 mild, 10 moderate, 2 severe) infants. Eight out of 46 infants did not complete the 18-24 months follow-up but had a normal examination prior. The combination of all three biomarkers (TSS, DP, and NVC) yielded the highest AUC of 0.755 (95% CI: 0.569-0.941), with sensitivity of 0.750, specificity of 0.769, positive predictive value of 0.800, and negative predictive value of 0.714, outperforming individual biomarkers or two-marker combinations. Furthermore, the NRI analysis demonstrated that the combined model achieved the highest NRI value (0.5577), indicating the strongest improvement in risk classification.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Conclusion: &lt;/strong&gt;This study emphasizes the importance of implementing multimodal neuromonitoring and integrating quantitative biomarkers at the bedside during the first day of life to provide objective metrics on brain health in addition to neurological exam.

There is a mounting body of evidence suggesting a link between OCD and inflammation. Neuropsychiatric deteriorations have been reported to follow COVID-19 infections, including OCD. Additionally, symptomatic arthritis has also been reported following COVID-19 infection. We aim to describe post-COVID-19 clinical deteriorations presenting to our multi-discplinary immune behavioral health clinic. Methods 151 pre-screened patients were evaluated in our clinic between March 1, 2020 and August 1, 2024. We systematically searched charts for infection with SARS-CoV-2 and found three cases of confirmed COVID-19 infection that preceded an abrupt neuropsychiatric deterioration (in the absence of other detected infections). Per our clinic's latest protocol, all patients underwent a full rheumatology and arthritis evaluation (regardless of joint complaints) including ultrasound imaging which were used to objectively assess for effusions, synovitis, and capsulitis. Results Two of the three patients met criteria for a PANS diagnosis. All three patients had new-onset OCD or re-escalation of OCD with new obsessions/compulsions/rituals post-COVID-19 and all three had imaging findings of effusions +/- synovitis +/- capsulitis despite not having significant complaints of joint pain. Joint pain complaints evolved after psychiatric symptoms improved (because the capacity of the patient to articulate joint pain improved when they were less overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts). Immunomodulatory treatment began with nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) and was escalated to disease-modifying antirheumatic drugs (DMARDs) in the two patients with synovitis +/- capsulitis. All three patients eventually returned to baseline neuropsychiatric health (minimal-to-no OCD and resolution of intense anxiety and mood instability) and also had improvement in arthritic findings after introduction of NSAID +/- DMARDs. Conclusion Infections may result in systemic immune activation leading to inflammation. Thus, when patients have an acute neuropsychiatric deterioration (hypothesized to have been triggered by an infection), the situation may warrant evaluation for inflammation in other more accessible sites (e.g. joints). Use of this evidence of inflammation (as a sign of immune activation) is helpful since it is difficult to assess for brain inflammation, as clinical brain imaging has poor sensitivity for inflammation and biopsy of the striatum (and other areas involved in OCD) is difficult and limited by risk. In our cases, early joint imaging not only helped confirm signs of systemic inflammation in the setting of neuropsychiatric symptoms, it also allowed for earlier initiation of immunomodulatory treatment.</p>","PeriodicalId":50585,"journal":{"name":"Developmental Neuroscience","volume":" ","pages":"1-29"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-04-02","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143774820","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
