Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Correlation of Seizure Activity: This involves comparing the number and types of seizures recorded by the outpatient EEG system with the expectations of neurologists, which are based on patient history and previous examinations. Grouping of Therapeutic Decisions: This focuses on analyzing the number and types of clinical decisions (e.g., medication adjustments, recommendations for inpatient monitoring, differential diagnostics) influenced by the data provided by the outpatient EEG system. Comparison of Reported vs. Recorded Seizure Frequency: This examines the discrepancy between the seizure frequency reported by patients and the seizure activity recorded by the outpatient EEG system. | — |
Secondary
| Measure | Time frame |
|---|---|
| Detection Performance: This involves assessing the detection performance of the outpatient EEG system compared to current standards, particularly in cases where the system does not meet neurologists' expectations. Physiological Mechanisms: An exploratory analysis of various characteristics (e.g., duration, frequency) of the (marked) signal patterns to investigate the underlying (patho-)physiological mechanisms. Signal Quality and Signal Properties: This includes evaluating the signal quality (and similar technical signal properties) of the EEG channels over time, especially regarding the ability to recognize seizure patterns. | — |
