文摘
- •
There is no correlation between patient-reported pre-admission seizure frequency and seizure frequency during EMU monitoring.
- •
Faster antiepileptic medication down titration during video-EEG monitoring yields a higher frequency of events.
- •
EMU admission time should be at least 4 days in order to record at least one clinic event in 90% of monitored patients.
