Bispectral EEG (BSEEG) Algorithm Captures High Mortality Risk Among 1,077 Patients: Its Relationship to Delirium Motor Subtype

•What is the primary question addressed by this study?Can the bispectral EEG (BSEEG) method predict patient mortality regardless of age, delirium motor subtype, and device type?•What is the main finding of this study?The BSEEG score measured early in the hospitalization was shown to be capable of capturing high mortality risk among patients.•What is the meaning of the finding?The BSEEG method has a potential to be useful in identifying patients at high risk for poor outcomes with the objective scoring by a simple, easy to use, point-of-care device.
