Correlation of Psychiatric Diagnoses and EEG Findings: A Double-Blind Study of 184 Hospitalized Children
Abstract
Clinical and EEG data were independently reevaluated for 184 children hospitalized for psychiatric reasons. No significant correlations were noted between clinical diagnoses and EEG findings. A uniform incidence (about 35 percent) of abnormal tracings was noted, irrespective of the clinical diagnoses, in children with specific CNS pathology or histories of conditions known to be associated with organic brain dysfunction. The necessity for obtaining more than one EEG examination and for recording from sleep was demonstrated.
