Continuous cardiac monitoring in epilepsy: an implantable loop manual activation algorithm for improving ECG signal acquisition accuracy

Table 1 False-positive events rate in patients with impaired awareness seizures

Epilepsy type	False-positive events rate	p-value
Focal impaired awareness seizures with aura	19.3%	p < 0.0001
Focal impaired awareness seizures without aura	45.5%	p < 0.0001
Bilateral tonic-clonic seizures with aura	5.9%	p < 0.0001
Bilateral tonic-clonic seizures without aura	38.8%	p < 0.0001

The comparative analysis between patients suffering from episodes with aura detected a statistically significant higher rate of false-positive events in the group of FIAS (59.8% vs. 38.2%, p < 0.0001)
