Neonatal organ and tissue donation is not common practice in the Netherlands. At the same time, there is a transplant waiting list for small size-matched organs and tissues. Multiple factors may contribute to low neonatal donation rates, including a lack of awareness of this option.

- Neonatal seizures are hard to diagnose accurately despite the use of continuous electroencephalography (cEEG), and a new automated algorithm called ANSeR aims to improve detection.
- A multicentre trial was conducted with 264 neonates at eight hospitals across Europe, comparing standard cEEG monitoring to cEEG linked with the ANSeR algorithm.
- The results showed that the algorithm group's recognition of seizures was slightly less sensitive and specific than the non-algorithm group, though both groups had a significant percentage of neonates with electrographic seizures detected.
Introduction: Adverse outcomes have been reported in infants with mild neonatal encephalopathy (NE). Increasing clinical experience with the application of therapeutic hypothermia (TH) may have resulted in the treatment of newborns with milder NE during recent years.
Objective: To determine whether infants treated with TH in the initial years following implementation had a higher degree of NE than infants treated during subsequent years.
Introduction: Neonatal seizures are common and caused by a variety of underlying disorders. There is increasing evidence that neonatal seizures result in further brain damage.
Objective: To describe the time interval between diagnosis of amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG)-confirmed seizures and administration of anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs).
Objective: We hypothesized that morphine has a depressing effect on early brain activity, assessed using quantitative aEEG/EEG parameter and depressed activity will be associated with brain volumes at term in extremely preterm infants.
Study Design: 174 preterm infants were enrolled in 3 European tertiary NICUs (mean GA:26 ± 1wks) and monitored during the first 72 h after birth with continuous 2 channel aEEG. Six epochs of aEEG recordings were selected and minimum amplitude of aEEG (min aEEG), percentage of time amplitude <5 μV (% of time < 5 μV), spontaneous activity transients (SATrate) and interSAT interval (ISI) were calculated.
