Acute @entity198 is a common CNS @entity166 in @entity1 . However, there are limited studies concerning about the correlation between the clinical evaluations and neurological outcome. To investigate the value of neurological evaluations, and the correlation between these evaluations and neurological outcomes of acute @entity198 , in the present study we retrospectively evaluated the neurological outcome of 0- to 16-year-old @entity1 with @entity198 or @entity5422 between 1999 and 2000. Of 101 @entity1 enrolled, 4 died and 25 had other @entity16 , including @entity302 , @entity10 , @entity245 , and emotional or behavioral changes during the 5 years of follow-up. The causative organisms in @entity1 with @entity16 ( @entity1704 /2 (100%), @entity683 2/3 (67%), @entity9463 5/12 (42%), and enterovirus 71 2/7 (29%). The important predictors for adverse outcomes were focal neurological signs, multiple @entity410 or @entity159 on admission, @entity1431 , focal slow waves or continuous generalized delta waves in electroencephalography (EEG), and focal cortical parenchymal hyperintensity in the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) (p<0.05). @entity1 with initial presentations of focal neurological signs, @entity1829 , @entity2045 , and @entity159 tended to have higher incidence of abnormal findings in brain MRI, although not achieving statistic significances. In addition, @entity1 with focal spikes or continuous generalized delta waves in EEG also had higher incidence of @entity854 . We conclude that brain MRI studies may be indicated in @entity1 with focal neurological signs, intractable @entity410 , and focal spikes, focal delta waves, or continuous generalized delta waves in EEG. For those with MRI examinations, focal cortical hyperintensity suggests poorer neurological outcomes.

The correlation between neurological evaluations and neurological outcome in acute XXXX : a hospital-based study.
