title: [Contribution of EEG to the diagnosis of epilepsy in Shanghai].
abstract: The electroencephalographs (EEGs) of 9963 patients examined for some form of neurological disorder were studied. The male:female ratio was 129:1 and the age range of 11-40 years accounted for 67.12% of those studied. Of 3914 clinically confirmed epileptic patients, 68.37% had an abnormal EEG characterized by major general or focal discharges. 50.56% of 3814 suspected epileptic patients exhibited high levels of abnormal discharge and 452 non-epileptic patients also exhibited abnormalities. Such discharges also occurred in 671 patients suspected of other neurological disorders.
