Interrater and Intrarater Agreement of Epileptic Encephalopathy Among Electroencephalographers for Children with Infantile Spasms Using the Burden of Amplitudes and Epileptiform Discharges (BASED) EEG Grading Scale: Study Design and Statistical Considerations

DiscussionWe will recruit more electroencephalographers than were included in previous studies to assess the interrater and intrarater agreement in the selection of 5-min EEG epochs, the BASED scores, and the basis for scoring. If the BASED score has an adequate interrater and intrarater agreement, the score will have more significance for guiding the clinical management and for predicting the prognosis of patients with infantile spasms.
