This EEG Guideline incorporates the practice of structuring a report of results obtained during routine adult electroencephalography. It is intended to reflect one of the current practices in reporting an EEG and serves as a revision of the previous guideline entitled "Writing an EEG Report." The goal of this guideline is not only to convey clinically relevant information, but also to improve interrater reliability for clinical and research use by standardizing the format of EEG reports. With this in mind, there is expanded documentation of the patient history to include more relevant clinical information that can affect the EEG recording and interpretation. Recommendations for the technical conditions of the recording are also enhanced to include post hoc review parameters and type of EEG recording. Sleep feature documentation is also expanded upon. More descriptive terms are included for background features and interictal discharges that are concordant with efforts to standardize terminology. In the clinical correlation section, examples of common clinical scenarios are now provided that encourages uniformity in reporting. Including digital samples of abnormal waveforms is now readily available with current EEG recording systems and may be beneficial in augmenting reports when controversial waveforms or important features are encountered.
本脑电图指南涵盖了常规成人脑电图检查结果报告的撰写规范。它旨在反映当前脑电图报告的一种实践做法，并作为对先前名为《撰写脑电图报告》指南的修订。本指南的目标不仅是传达临床相关信息，还通过规范脑电图报告的格式，提高临床和研究使用中评估者间的可靠性。考虑到这一点，对患者病史的记录进行了扩展，以纳入更多可能影响脑电图记录和解读的相关临床信息。对记录的技术条件的建议也得到了加强，包括事后审查参数和脑电图记录类型。睡眠特征记录也有所扩展。为背景特征和发作间期放电纳入了更多描述性术语，这与术语标准化的努力相一致。在临床关联部分，现在提供了常见临床场景的示例，以促进报告的一致性。随着当前脑电图记录系统的发展，现在可以轻松获取异常波形的数字样本，当遇到有争议的波形或重要特征时，这可能有助于充实报告内容。
