“…Due to this, combined VEEG and PSG, utilizing 19-channel EEG and other physiological parameters, can assist in diagnosing suspicious nocturnal events and differentiating between the presence of a parasomnia, seizure activity, or both. 4,118,119 Considering the identification of semiology is highly dependent on clinician expertise and skills, some scholars have postulated that the relative time and stage of occurrence during sleep of minor and major episodes could represent objective and simple criteria to discriminate SHE from DOA. The occurrence of at least one major event (complex arousal ambulatory movements in DOA 120 and complex hypermotor seizures in SHE 4 ) outside stage N3 sleep was highly suggestive of SHE (accuracy = 0.898, specificity = 0.949, sensitivity = 0.793), whereas the occurrence of at least one minor event (simple and rising arousal movements in DOA, 120 MME and PAs in SHE 4 ) during stage N3 sleep was highly suggestive of DOA (accuracy = 0.73, specificity = 0.723, sensitivity = 0.733).…”
