dc.description.abstract | Objective: To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of a new diagnostic instrument for epilepsy – INCLEN Diagnostic Tool for Epilepsy (INDT-EPI) – with evaluation by expert pediatric neurologists. Study design: Evaluation of diagnostic test. Setting: Tertiary care pediatric referral centers in India. Methods: Children aged 2-9 years, enrolled by systematic random sampling at pediatric neurology out-patient clinics of three tertiary care centers were independently evaluated in a blinded manner by primary care physicians trained to administer the test, and by teams of two pediatric neurologists. Outcomes: A 13-item questionnaire administered by trained primary care physicians (candidate test) and comprehensive subject evaluation by pediatric neurologists (gold standard). Results: There were 240 children with epilepsy and 274 without epilepsy. The candidate test for epilepsy had sensitivity and specificity of 85.8% and 95.3%; positive and negative predictive values of 94.0% and 88.5%; and positive and negative likelihood ratios of 18.25 and 0.15, respectively. Conclusion: The INDT-EPI has high validity to identify children with epilepsy when used by primary care physicians. | en_US |
