In this study, the objective is to compare neonatal cerebral electrical activity within 3 days after birth across different altitude areas using amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), and establish reference value for each altitude level.

Differences in aEEG indicators in neonates within three days after birth at different altitudes
aEEG data are acquired by aEEG device. This minimum and maximum value is used as the preliminary smoothing value for that specific time point. Next, a three-order low-pass filter is employed to further refine the preliminary values, and a phase compensation algorithm is applied to restore temporal information and obtain smoothed boundaries.For further analyzing the aEEG data, a total of 63 signal features were extracted to reflect the spectral density aspects by the Auto-Neo-EEG pipeline.
Time frame: within three days after birth
Establish reference values for each altitude level
If significant differences exist across altitude levels, the 3rd, 10th, 50th, 75th, 90th, and 97th percentile for upper and lower threshold of aEEG will be established for each group separately. Otherwise a combined reference interval will be provided using the average value of lower limit value.
Time frame: within three days after birth
