Correlation between scalp high-frequency oscillations and prognosis in patients with benign epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal spikes.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The study aimed to explore whether high-frequency oscillations (HFOs) can predict seizure risk and atypical manifestations of benign epilepsy of childhood with centrotemporal spikes (BECTS).

Methods

We recruited 60 patients and divided them into three groups: (1) seizure-free BECTS, (2) active typical BECTS, and (3) active atypical forms of BECTS. Electroencephalogram was used to record the number, location, average amplitude, and duration of spikes, and spike ripples were analyzed using time-frequency technology. Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to investigate independent predictive factors for prognosis.

Results

The number of sleep spike ripples, rather than spikes, was an independent risk factor for the active period of the disease (odds rat
