Electroencephalograms (EEGs) are crucial for diagnosing global developmental delay (GDD) in children. Abnormal EEG findings were prevalent in 79% of pediatric patients, aiding in seizure classification and prognosis.

Area of Science:

  • Pediatric Neurology
  • Neurophysiology
  • Developmental Pediatrics

Background:

  • Global developmental delay (GDD) is a common pediatric condition with diverse causes.
  • Electroencephalograms (EEGs) are vital for assessing suspected seizures in GDD, guiding treatment and prognosis.
  • This study investigated EEG findings in pediatric GDD patients at a Saudi Arabian hospital.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the prevalence of EEG findings in pediatric patients with GDD.
  • To evaluate the utility of abnormal EEG assessments in children diagnosed with GDD.

Main Methods:

  • A retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted.
  • Data from 110 pediatric patients with GDD were analyzed.
  • EEG data were collected from February 2016 to April 2018.

Main Results:

  • 79% of pediatric GDD patients exhibited abnormal EEG findings.
  • Abnormal EEGs were significantly associated with older age groups (P=0.001).
  • EEGs played a crucial role in clinical assessment for 61% of patients (P=0.001).

Conclusions:

  • EEGs are essential for classifying seizures in children with GDD.
  • Brain EEGs help identify brain anomalies linked to GDD etiologies.
  • Utilizing EEGs can improve treatment outcomes for children with GDD.
