Screening test for epilepsy.

ABSTRACT

A 10 – item dichotomous type screening test for epilepsy had been developed and validated by applying to 73 epileptic and 162 non-epileptic persons. At the cut-off score 4, its sensitivity and specificity are 100% and 98.14% respectively. The result indicates that it is a good screening test, however, this is a clinical-based validity study, so community based validity study needs to be done.
