Validation of central nervous system‐induced seizures and other neurological variables in the Swedish Neonatal Quality Register

Abstract

When the check-box was ticked for central nervous system-induced seizures, most of the neurological variables in the Register had high validity. However, the CNS-induced seizures variable per se had a lower positive predictive value. Future SNQ Register-based studies of such neonatal seizures should also include ICD-10 P90.9A.
