Objective: We present relations of SSEP amplitude with neurological outcome and of SSEP amplitude with EEG amplitude in comatose patients after cardiac arrest.Methods: This is a post hoc analysis of a prospective cohort study in comatose patients after cardiac arrest. Amplitude of SSEP recordings obtained within 48–72 h, and EEG patterns obtained at 12 and 24h after cardiac arrest were related to good (CPC 1-2) or poor (CPC 3-5) outcome at 6 months. In 39% of the study population multiple SSEP measurements were performed. Additionally, SSEP amplitude was related to mean EEG amplitude.Results: We included 138 patients (77% poor outcome). Absent SSEP responses, a N20 amplitude
