Table 4.
Modulatory factors with significant difference between two age groups in epilepsy.

A comparison of the two groups here was made according to the median age of epilepsy patients. Statistical calculations were done among those who were exposed to modulatory factors. The bold and underlined ones are statistically significant rates according to adjusted residual (≥2) values, and Bonferroni-corrected p-values were calculated according to number of epilepsy subgroups (0.05/2; p < 0.025) in Pearson chi-square.
Provoc, provocation; Inhibit, inhibition; NoMod, no modulation; Audit, auditory; Playst, PlayStation.
