Predictors of Recording an Event During Prolonged Inpatient Video Electroencephalogram Monitoring in Children

Prolonged inpatient electroencephalogram monitoring captured an event of interest in two-thirds of patients, with most of these events captured within less than four and a half hours of recording onset. Several factors predict a greater yield with prolonged inpatient video electroencephalogram monitoring-including event frequency, latency since the most recent event, and the presence of intellectual disability-and can be used to counsel patients regarding this study for the purpose of event capture in the context of shared decision making.
