Abstract
A pooled analysis of data from the literature shows that TB has great value in the differential diagnosis between epileptic seizures and syncope. Given a certain pre-test probability of seizures, the presence of TB greatly increases the chance that the patient had an epileptic seizure. Systematic reviews with pooled analyses (meta-analyses) of data from the literature allow an increase in statistical power and an improvement in precision, representing a useful tool to determine the accuracy of a certain physical finding in the differential diagnosis between seizures and other paroxysmal events.
