Özet

Background/aim: We evaluated the utility of electroencephalography (EEG) in children with neurological conditions and compared the results with those of our previous study on excessive uses of pediatric EEG, which was published in 2003. We also evaluated the possibility of subsequent EEGs and satisfactory duration of EEG recordings according to EEG type and admission status. We also evaluated the yield of varying durations of EEG recordings.
