Disorders of consciousness (DOC) are an important but still underexplored entity in neurology. Novel electroencephalography (EEG) measures are currently being employed for improving diagnostic classification, estimating prognosis and supporting medicolegal decision-making in DOC patients. However, complex recording protocols, a confusing variety of EEG measures, and complicated analysis algorithms create roadblocks against broad application. We conducted a systematic review based on English-language studies in PubMed, Medline and Web of Science databases. The review structures the available knowledge based on EEG measures and analysis principles, and aims at promoting its translation into clinical management of DOC patients.

意识障碍 (DOC) 是神经病学中一个重要但仍未得到充分探索的实体。目前正在采用新的脑电图 (EEG) 措施来改进诊断分类、估计预后和支持 DOC 患者的法医决策。然而，复杂的记录协议、令人困惑的各种脑电图测量和复杂的分析算法为广泛应用造成了障碍。我们基于 PubMed、Medline 和 Web of Science 数据库中的英语研究进行了系统评价。该审查基于脑电图测量和分析原则构建了可用的知识，旨在促进其转化为 DOC 患者的临床管理。
