Abstract
The aim of work is rethinking about EEG indications in pediatric clinical practice and evaluation of concepts regarding its use in our locality in order to reconstruct our own clear guidelines and sharing them with our referral sources.
In our study we aimed to assess role of EEG in pediatric age group to construct clear guidelines for making EEG. Our study included 600 patients referred to our Neuropsychiatric Unit in Minia University Hospital from various Minia governorate hospitals and outpatient clinics on randomized basis with different age groups from age of 1 month to 16 years old.
All children included in the study were subjected to clinical full history taking, and psychiatric assessment, complete physical examination especially neurological examination, psychometric evaluation(whenever needed) and E.E.G.
Our study showed:
There is statistically significance difference between referral sources of the patient and EEG result (p value 0.005).
There is no statistically significance difference between gender of the patient and EEG result (p value 0.202).
There is no statistically significance difference between complaint of the patient and EEG result (p value 0.866).
There is highly statistically significance difference between previous EEG of the patient and EEG result (p value >0.001).
There is highly statistically significance difference between provocation of the patient and EEG result (p value 0.002).
There is no statistically significance difference between age group of the patient and EEG (p value 0.512).
There is highly statistically significance difference between drug intake by the patient and EEG result(p value > 0.001)
There is highly statistically significance difference between ancillary tests and EEG (p value >0.001).
There is no statistically significance difference between radiology of the patient and EEG result (p value 0.593).
