Operative (Electrocorticography) Versus Extra-Operative (Stereo-Electroencephalogram and Grid Placement) Monitoring Agreement
| Operation | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Seizure | Operative | Extra-operative | Total | Agreement with rs-fMRI | Ordinal scale PABAK |
| Ictal | 3 | 15 | 18 (45%) | 94% (73%, 100%) | 0.889 (0.679, 1) |
| Interictal | 20 | 2 | 22 (55%) | 86% (65%, 97%) | 0.727 (0.442, 1) |
| Total | 23 | 17 | 40 | ||
Operative %: Ictal 13%; extra-operative %: Ictal 88%; p < 0.001 (Fisher's exact test).
Forty-five percent of subjects had ictal studies, and 55% only had interictal activity. Of those with ictal studies, agreement with rs-fMRI-based localization was 73% for the operative ECoG group versus 100% with the extra-operative studies. Similarly, of those with only interictal studies, agreement with rs-fMRI-based localization, 65% for the operative-based ECoG group and 97% agreement in the extra-operative group, averaging as cited earlier. No statistical difference was detected in the agreement rate with rs-fMRI based on the EEG monitoring method.
EEG, electroencephalogram; PABAK, prevalence-adjusted bias adjusted kappa.
