Intraclass correlations of seizure duration by wavelet transform, sample entropy, and visual determination in electroconvulsive therapy.

ABSTRACT: Although electroconvulsive therapy seizure duration has been shown to have limited relevance to efficacy, seizure duration remains important for clinically valid stimulus efficiency. There has been no report on seizure duration using sample entropy with Thymatron (Somatics, Inc), which is widely used in Japan. Furthermore, wavelet transform analysis is also suitable for a seizure because of the wide range of dominant frequencies. Therefore, in this study with Thymatron, the intraclass correlations of seizure duration determined by sample entropy, wavelet transform, and visual determination were investigated to determine whether these methods were applicable for clinical use. Wavelet transform, sample entropy, and the human rater had high intraclass correlations for seizure duration. The pr
