Brain MR imaging and spectroscopy for outcome prognostication after pediatric cardiac arrest

Children surviving cardiac arrest are at high risk of neurological morbidity and mortality; however, there is a lack of validated prognostic biomarkers. We aimed to evaluate brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy (MRS) as predictors of death and disability. Secondly, we evaluated whether MRI/S by randomized group.
