BACKGROUND: Spreading depolarizations (SDs) are associated with worse outcome following subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) and traumatic brain injury (TBI), but gold standard detection requires electrocorticography with a subdural strip electrode. Electroencephalography (EEG) ictal-interictal continuum abnormalities are associated with poor outcomes after TBI and with both delayed cerebral ischemia (DCI) and poor outcomes after SAH. We examined rates of SD detection in patients with SAH and TBI with intraparenchymal and subdural strip electrodes and assessed which continuous EEG (cEEG) measures were associated with intracranially quantified SDs.

METHODS: In this single-center cohort, we included patients with SAH and TBI undergoing ≥ 24 h of interpretable intracranial monitoring via eight-contact intraparenchymal or six-contact subdural strip platinum electrodes or both. SDs were rated according to established consensus criteria and compared with cEEG findings rated according to the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society critical care EEG monitoring consensus criteria: lateralized rhythmic delta activity, generalized rhythmic delta activity, lateralized periodic discharges, generalized periodic discharges, any ictal-interictal continuum, or a composite scalp EEG tool for seizure risk estimation: the 2HELPS2B score. Among patients with SAH, cEEG was assessed for validated DCI biomarkers: new or worsening epileptiform abnormalities and new background deterioration.

RESULTS: Over 6 years, SDs were recorded in 5 (18%) of 28 patients recorded with intraparenchymal electrodes and 4 (40%) of 10 patients recorded with subdural strip electrodes. There was no significant association between occurrence of SDs and day 1 cEEG findings (American Clinical Neurophysiology Society main terms lateralized periodic discharges, generalized periodic discharges, lateralized rhythmic delta activity, or seizures, individually or in combination). After SAH, established cEEG DCI predictors were not associated with SDs.

CONCLUSIONS: Intraparenchymal recordings yielded low rates of SD, and documented SDs were not associated with ictal-interictal continuum abnormalities or other cEEG DCI predictors. Identifying scalp EEG correlates of SD may require training computational EEG analytics and use of gold standard subdural strip electrocorticography recordings.
