Abstract

STUDY OBJECTIVE: Nonconvulsive status epilepticus is a commonly overlooked cause of altered mental status. This study assessed nonconvulsive status epilepticus prevalence in emergency department (ED) patients with acute neurologic presentations using limited electroencephalogram (EEG) coupled with artificial intelligence (AI)-enhanced seizure detection technology. We then compared the accuracy of the AI EEG interpretations to those performed by an epileptologist.
