Objective: Anxiety disorders (AD) are critical factors that significantly (about one-fifth) impact the quality of life (QoL) in patients with epilepsy (PWE). Objective diagnostic methods have contributed to the identification of PWE susceptible to AD. This study aimed to identify AD in PWE by constructing a diagnostic model based on the phase locking value (PLV) and Lempel-Ziv Complexity (LZC) features of the electroencephalogram (EEG).

Methods: Fifty-two patients with TLE were prospectively enrolled in the F-FDG PET/CT two time point imaging study. The early imaging was obtained approximately 40 min (43.
Aim: To analyze whether the Lempel-Ziv Complexity (LZC) in quantitative electroencephalogram differs between the temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) patients with or without cognitive impairment (CI) and explore the diagnostic value of LZC for identifying CI in TLE patients.
Methods: Twenty-two clinical features and 20-min EEG recordings were collected from 48 TLE patients with CI and 27 cognitively normal (CON) TLE patients. Seventy-six LZC features were calculated for 19 leads in four frequency bands (alpha, beta, delta, and theta).
Article Synopsis
- Cognitive impairment (CI) is a common issue among patients with epilepsy, and this study aims to create a diagnostic model using clinical features and electroencephalogram (EEG) phase locking value (PLV) metrics.
- Researchers divided epilepsy patients into two groups: cognitively normal and those with CI, then utilized algorithms to analyze various clinical and PLV features for effective diagnosis.
- The best performing model combined clinical and PLV features and achieved high accuracy and precision, indicating that PLV in the theta band could serve as a potential biomarker for diagnosing CI in epilepsy patients.
