Data are presented as No. (%).

BIPD = bilateral independent periodic discharge; BIRD = brief potentially ictal rhythmic discharge; CI = confidence interval; EEG = electroencephalographic; GPD = generalized periodic discharge; GRDA = generalized rhythmic delta activity; LPD = lateralized periodic discharge; LRDA = lateralized rhythmic delta activity; LSW = lateralized spike-and-wave discharge; OR = odds ratio; SED = sporadic epileptiform discharge; Sz = seizures.
