Electroencephalography in the differential diagnosis of non-epileptic paroxysmal events in infants: clinical utility and other predictors

Key Points

• Electroencephalography effectively differentiates non-epileptic events from epileptic ones in infants, improving diagnosis.
• Critical outcomes relate to specificity and sensitivity metrics, which guide treatment decisions for 78 infants evaluated.
• Observational analysis across clinical settings includes data from diverse infant populations and outcomes over 12 months.
• Potential limitations arise from the variability in clinical presentation, indicating the need for comprehensive assessment.
