Validation of administrative health data for the identification of endometriosis diagnosis.

Hum Reprod

December 2024

Department of Family and Preventative Medicine, University of Utah, Salt Lake City, UT, USA.

Study Question: How do endometriosis diagnoses and subtypes reported in administrative health data compare with surgically confirmed disease?

Summary Answer: For endometriosis diagnosis, we observed substantial agreement and high sensitivity and specificity between administrative health data-International Classification of Diseases (ICD) 9 codes-and surgically confirmed diagnoses among participants who underwent gynecologic laparoscopy or laparotomy.

What Is Known Already: Several studies have assessed the validity of self-reported endometriosis in comparison to medical record reporting, finding strong confirmation. We previously reported high inter- and intra-surgeon agreement for endometriosis diagnosis in the Endometriosis, Natural History, Diagnosis, and Outcomes (ENDO) Study.

Epilepsy and Cardiac Arrhythmias: A State-of-the-Art Review.

Epilepsy is an important cause of disability and mortality worldwide. It can be frequently misdiagnosed, and detailed history and relevant investigations are needed to differentiate epilepsy from syncope. Electroencephalogram is a key noninvasive assessment of neurological function, and the diagnostic yield is increased when performed for an extended period in the ambulatory setting with concurrent electrocardiogram and video monitoring.

Clinical findings of long-term ambulatory video EEG following routine EEG.

Epilepsy Behav

December 2024

Article Synopsis
  • This study evaluates the effectiveness of routine EEG (rEEG) followed by long-term ambulatory EEG (aEEG) in diagnosing abnormalities and capturing events in a cohort of 95 patients.
  • Findings showed that abnormal EEG results increased from 18% with rEEG to 33% with aEEG, and non-epileptic events were detected in 35% of aEEG cases, while no non-epileptic events appeared in rEEG.
  • The results suggest that aEEG significantly enhances diagnostic outcomes, especially in adults, and advocates for further research to maximize its clinical application.

Article Synopsis
  • - The study introduces "pro-ictal EEG scheduling," a new method for timing video-electroencephalography (vEEG) sessions to improve the detection of epileptic activity by aligning them with high-risk seizure periods.
  • - Analyzing data from over 5,000 vEEG sessions and related seizure diaries, the research found that monitoring during high-risk periods led to significantly higher rates of abnormal reports, confirmed seizures, and reported events compared to regular monitoring times.
  • - The findings, which highlight the effectiveness of this scheduling method, suggest that pro-ictal EEG scheduling can be a practical and low-risk strategy to enhance epilepsy diagnosis and management.

Over- and underreporting of seizures: How big is the problem?

Epilepsia

May 2024

Department of Medicine, St. Vincent's Hospital Melbourne, University of Melbourne, Parkville, Victoria, Australia.

Objective: Clinical decisions on managing epilepsy patients rely on patient accuracy regarding seizure reporting. Studies have noted disparities between patient-reported seizures and electroencephalographic (EEG) findings during video-EEG monitoring periods, chiefly highlighting underreporting of seizures, a well-recognized phenomenon. However, seizure overreporting is a significant problem discussed within the literature, although not in such a large cohort.
