Corrigendum to “Cognitive effects of interictal epileptiform discharges in children” [YEJPN 16 (6) (2012) 697–706]

In the abstract of the above publication, the study population was incorrectly described. The sentence “We analysed a group of 182 children with different epilepsy syndromes, all of whom had IEDs that did not result in observed seizures” should be changed into “ We analysed a group of 182 children with different epilepsy syndromes as well as children with IEDs without observed seizures”. Cognitive effects of interictal epileptiform discharges in childrenEuropean Journal of Paediatric NeurologyVol. 16Issue 6PreviewFrequent interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) may have effects on cognition. We analysed a group of 182 children with different epilepsy syndromes, all of whom had IEDs that did not result in observed seizures, with 24-h ambulatory EEG and cognitive tests. The IED index was estimated, in wakefulness and in sleep, as percentage of time in five categories (0%, <1%, 1–10%, ≥10–50% and ≥50%). IEDs were defined as spikes or spike–wave complexes, isolated or occurring serially (in runs) without evident clinical signs of a seizure. Full-Text PDF
