Flicker ERG amplitudes and peak times in 28 term-born neonates
| Stimulus Strength | Amplitude (µV) | Peak Time (ms) |
|---|---|---|
| (n ERGs*) | Mean (SD) | Mean (SD) |
| Median [IQR] | Median [IQR] | |
| 3 cd·s/m2 | 1.0 (0.5) | 46.2 (4.5) |
| (n = 20) | 0.9 [0.6 – 1.3] | 45.8 [43.1 – 50.0] |
| 6 cd·s/m2 | 1.0 (0.7) | 44.9 (4.3) |
| (n = 25) | 0.8 [0.6 – 1.1] | 45.0 [42.0 – 46.5] |
| 12 cd·s/m2 | 1.9 (1.3) | 42.4 (4.2) |
| (n = 27) | 1.5 [1.1 – 2.4] | 42.5 [37.9 – 46.1] |
| 30 cd·s/m2 | 2.9 (2.0) | 43.1 (3.5) |
| (n = 28) | 2.1 [1.7 – 3.5] | 43.5 [41.7 – 45.6] |
| 50 cd·s/m2 | 3.7 (2.3) | 43.2 (5.1) |
| (n = 28) | 2.8 [2.2 – 5.0] | [40.1 – 46.1] |
*The number of neonates in whom reproducible flicker ERGs were successfully recorded is given for each stimulus strength. Only one eye was tested for each neonate
IQR, interquartile range; SD, standard deviation
