Metric Options: Counts1 Year3 YearSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
PURPOSE:: Habitual events, behaviors, and nonepileptic events can be easily confused with epileptic seizures in children in the absence of clear description and can be challenging, even for an experienced clinician. The aim was to report on the usefulness of adding video-EEG to routine EEG studies of infants and children with frequent atypical paroxysmal events. METHODS:: A retrospective analysis of video-EEG carried over a 2-year period in a tertiary pediatric neurology center. Outcomes were classified as: "conclusive epileptic," "conclusive nonepileptic," "unremarkable," and "inconclusive." RESULTS:: Forty-four children (M:F 19:25) with an age range of 1 to 15 years (mean: 7 years, median: 8.5 years) were analyzed. Thirty (68%) children had successful epilepsy classification. A diagnosis of a specific nonepileptic event was reached in 55% of cases. Antiepileptic drugs were discontinued completely in 8 patients (20%), and the total number of antiepileptic drugs was reduced in 13 others (33%). CONCLUSIONS:: Paroxysmal nonepileptic events can cause diagnostic confusion, particularly in children with developmental delay, epilepsy (especially refractory epilepsy), or those with previous "abnormal" EEG. Accurate diagnosis can be reached in the majority of cases using prolonged video-EEG monitoring. © 2014 by the American Clinical Neurophysiology Society.
