Pearson-Chi Square revealed a significant relationship between abnormal EEG and the development of further seizures (p<0.01). The odds of having further seizures if the EEG was abnormal was 4.9 (95% C.I 1.5-16.1). Conclusions Sleep EEG is a useful tool in predicting the risk of developing epilepsy in children with first afebrile seizure.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
