Determinants and outcome of repeat continuous electroencephalogram monitoring-A case-control study.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

A retrospective, single-center study to analyze the determinants of a repeat continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring during hospitalization and its outcomes using a matched case-control study design.

Methods

Adults with a repeat cEEG session (cases) were matched by age (±3 years), gender, and mental status to patients with a single cEEG (controls) during hospitalization. Several clinical and EEG characteristics were analyzed to identify predictors of repeat cEEG. Repeat cEEG outcomes were analyzed based on its yield of electrographic seizure. We investigated the predictors of finding increased epileptic potential (degree of association with electrographic seizures) on the repeat cEEG, a marker for possible anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) management change.
