Background: Heart rate (HR) patterns can inform on central nervous system dysfunction. We previously used highly comparative time series analysis (HCTSA) to identify HR patterns predicting mortality among patients in the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) and now use this methodology to discover patterns predicting cerebral palsy (CP) in preterm infants.
Method: We studied NICU patients <37 weeks' gestation with archived every-2-s HR data throughout the NICU stay and with or without later diagnosis of CP (n = 57 CP and 1119 no CP).
