1 EEG in the Evaluation of Epilepsy Douglas R. Nordli, Jr., MD
2 Contents Epidemiology First seizure Positive predictive value Risk of recurrence Identifying epilepsy Type of epilepsy (background and IEDs) Determining etiology Metabolic disorders Focal structural lesions Assessing treatment Completeness of control Determining when to stop
3 Sensitivity of EEG in Patients with Epilepsy Three large adult studies [(Goodin (1990), Marsan (1970), Salinsky (1987)] Initial EEGs: 29-55% Repeated EEGs: 80-90% Factors Age Epilepsy syndrome Sleep Sleep deprivation Proximity to seizure
4 Patients with First Unprovoked Seizure Study N Age % IED % non-ied (abnormal) % Normal Hopkins 408 Adult 27% 27% 46% FIRST 397 Mixed 50% 6% 44% Van Donselaar 157 Adult 12% 45% 43% King 300 Mixed 43% 25% 32% Shinnar 283 Pediatric 28% 10% 63% Pedley, Mendiratta, Walczak. Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2003.
5 Prevalence of IEDs in Normal Subjects Study N Age, yrs General Condition % with IEDs % Developing Seizures Eeg-Olofson Highly screened 1.9% Cavazzuti 3, Screened 3.5% 5.3% Gregory 13, Flight crew 0.5% 2.6% Zivin 6, Inpatient 2.2% 14.1% Bridgers 3, Psychiatry 2.6% Pedley, Mendiratta, Walczak. Current Practice of Clinical Electroencephalography, Lippincott Williams and Wilkins, 2003.
6 Positive Predictive Value (PPV) Ratio Calculation Epilepsy pts with IEDs : Total population with IEDs E x IEDe where (E x IEDe) + [(I-E) x IEDne] E = epilepsy prevalence IEDe = IED prevalence in epilepsy pts IEDne = IED prevalence in non-epilepsy population
7 What is PPV in Population of 1000? E 0.5% IEDe 55% IEDne 4% Calculation.005 x.55 (.005 x.55) + [(1-.005) x.04]
