Efficacy of delivery of care with Tele-continuous EEG in critically ill patients: a multicenter randomized controlled trial (Tele-cRCT study) study
Authors' conclusion
While Tele-cEEG may help detect NCS/NCSE, this study had limited power to detect its efficacy in reducing mortality or improving functional outcomes.
Study context
- Population
- Critically ill patients aged ≥ 15 years at risk of nonconvulsive seizure (NCS)/nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), eight regional hospitals in Thailand
- Participants
- 254 patients
- Comparison
- Tele-cEEG vs Tele-rEEG
- Tele-cEEGn = 128
- Tele-rEEGn = 126reference
Methodological detailsparallel, multicentre
- Parallel
- Multicentre
