“…All studies included both medicated and unmedicated patients, with the exception of two, in which all patients were medication free . The typical ratio of medicated versus non‐medicated patients was approximately half to one‐third of the group.…”

“…This left 22 studies remaining in the meta-analysis. 5,7,10,13,15,16,[23][24][25][26][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37][38][39] Three studies did not have a comparison group but instead compared mean standard scores with population means; 15,16,35 however, because of the relatively small number of studies, we decided to include these three studies. The majority of the remaining 19 studies had comparison and patient groups which were matched for age and sex, with two exceptions, 28,37 where there were significantly more males in the comparison group than in the patient group.…”

“…All studies included both medicated and unmedicated patients, with the exception of two, in which all patients were medication free. 7,26 The typical ratio of medicated versus non-medicated patients was approximately half to one-third of the group. One study divided patients into medication groups, 23 and in this case we used the effect size describing the patients receiving monotherapy compared with the comparison group, as this was the most typical comparison with other studies.…”

“…Indeed, associations have been found between diurnal, but not nocturnal, interictal EEG spikes and measures of IQ 5 and, conversely, between nocturnal, but not diurnal, epileptiform activity and reading and ability measures. 6,7 Significant correlations between spike frequency and cognition have also been found during drowsiness, 8 but these did not survive correction for multiple testing. Other studies have found no significant associations between cognition and spike activity.…”

BECTSBenign childhood epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes AIM Rolandic epilepsy is the most common childhood epilepsy, often presenting with neuropsychological impairments. The aim of the study was to formally assimilate the findings of existing studies varying widely in methodology, thereby confirming the nature and prevalence of impairments in literacy and language.METHODS Using meta-analytical techniques, we evaluated 22 studies of literacy and/or language skills in children with rolandic epilepsy, published after 2000, among participants with IQs>70 and in which effect sizes could be acquired. Diagnosis required the presence of classical centrotemporal spikes arising from a normal background on electroencephalograms; a clinical history including at least one seizure; and no additional neurological condition.Overall effect size and heterogeneity were measured for single-word reading, phonological processing, and expressive and receptive language.RESULTS Mean effect sizes (Cohen's d) ranged from 0.50 (95% confidence interval [CI] 0.23-0.78) for phonological processing, through 0.71 (95% CI 0.52-0.90) for word reading and 0.72 (95% CI 0.34-1.1) for receptive language, to 0.75 (95% CI 0.45-1.05) for expressive language. While group differences for reading measures were consistent, those for language were heterogeneous and varied across studies explained by age and IQ of samples.

“…Fifteen patients were diagnosed with ADHD (see Table 1 for details). Different aspects of language abilities were examined in these children using the phonological awareness test, morphological awareness test [23], and expressive language test to screen out severe language impairments. The details are in Table 1.…”
