Additional value of two-channel amplitude integrated EEG recording in full-term infants with unilateral brain injury (Archives of Disease in Childhood - Fetal and Neonatal Edition (2010) 95, (F160-F168))

摘要

Out of 1,524 inhabitants of the village, 576 subjects were 50 years of age and older: 346 inhabitants aged 50-64 years, and 230 inhabitants aged 65 years and older. Questionnaires were delivered to all 458 residential houses in the village. Of those, 128 (27.9 %) completed questionnaires were returned to the general practitioner's office. In this first stage, 54 (42.2 %) respondents screened positively for parkinsonism by the questionnaire, experiencing one or more symptoms; 9 returned the completed questionnaire without a return address, so it was not possible to determine their identity. Out of the 54 positive respondents, 45 were invited for the screening examination. The trained primary care neurologist made a diagnosis of possible parkinsonism in 19 subjects (14.8 % of the total respondents). In the third stage, a final neurological examination by a movement disorders specialist confirmed the preliminary diagnosis of parkinsonism in 14 patients (10.9 % of the total respondents).
