What is Prevalence of epileptiform electroencephalographic abnormalities in people without a history of seizures: A systematic review and meta‐analysis about?
## Abstract Abnormal patterns identified on electroencephalogram (EEG) are one of the primary diagnostic tests for epilepsy. However, epidemiological studies have established that both benign and epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) occur on the EEG of nonepileptic, seizure‐free people as well. The reported rates of EAs in nonepileptic, seizure‐free populations vary, and the true prevalence is unknown. The primary objective of this systematic review and meta‐analysis was to estimate the overall prevalence of EAs in the EEG of people without a history of seizures. Secondary aims were to characterize (1) the cortical localization of focal abnormalities, (2) the proportion of findings that occurred during standard EEG stimulation protocols, and (3) the persistence and implications of abnormalities at follow‐up. A comprehensive electronic search of six bibliographic databases was completed: Embase, MEDLINE, PsycInfo, Cumulative Index of Nursing and Allied Health Literature, Cochrane Central Register for Controlled Trials, and Web of Science. No search date restrictions were applied. Overall effect size was calculated using a generalized linear mixed‐effects model. Fifty‐three studies, tota
