Epilepsia, 08/27/09
Ottman R et al. – Given its high sensitivity, the instrument may be useful for the first stage of screening for epilepsy; however, the PPV of 23% suggests that only about one in four screen–positive individuals will be truly affected. Screening with a single question asking about epilepsy yields a higher PPV but lower sensitivity, and screen–positive subjects may be biased toward more severe epilepsy.
