Optimal EEG Duration for Detecting Epileptiform Abnormalities Across Patient Groups: A Retrospective Analysis
This retrospective study analyzed EEG recordings to determine optimal recording duration for detecting epileptiform abnormalities in patients with first seizure versus established epilepsy. Results showed detection rates of 37.6% and 57.4% respectively, with factors like anti-seizure medication use and seizure frequency significantly influencing detection, suggesting individualized EEG protocols based on clinical presentation.
