Abstract

Investigators from the Hospital Dona Estefânia, Escola Superior de Tecnologias e Saúde de Lisboa and Centro Hospitalar Psiquiátrico de Lisboa investigated 38 patients with continuous spike-wave of sleep (CSWS) syndrome.

Highlights

  • Investigators from the Hospital Dona Estefânia, Escola Superior de Tecnologias e Saúde de Lisboa and Centro Hospitalar Psiquiátrico de Lisboa investigated 38 patients with continuous spike-wave of sleep (CSWS) syndrome

  • The spike index (SI) was digitally calculated every 10 minutes by semiautomatic template-match-spike search analysis compared to both ambulatory electroencephalography (aEEG)

  • They compared daily SI stability and monthly SI stability (N=10) in individual patients and employed the SI obtained from averaging the maximum SI for each of the first four sleep cycles for comparison to reduce variability

Summary

Introduction

Investigators from the Hospital Dona Estefânia, Escola Superior de Tecnologias e Saúde de Lisboa and Centro Hospitalar Psiquiátrico de Lisboa investigated 38 patients with continuous spike-wave of sleep (CSWS) syndrome. A 10-20 montage long-term ambulatory electroencephalography (aEEG) and a wearable aEEG with two bipolar EEG channels simultaneously validate the latter's usefulness to quantify the spike index (SI) to analyze the EEG response to the treatments. The SI was digitally calculated every 10 minutes by semiautomatic template-match-spike search analysis compared to both aEEG.
