Stimulus-Induced Rhythmic, Periodic, or Ictal Discharges in Coma—Incidence and Interrater Reliability of Continuous EEG After a Standard Stimulation Protocol: A Prospective Study

Abstract

Our prospective study of SIRPIDs in the neuroscience intensive care unit found a 19% incidence by cEEG using a standard stimulation protocol, most often rhythmic delta activity, and showed a moderate interrater agreement.
