7. A Descriptive Analysis of Seizure Events Among Adults Who Participated in a ComputerBased Assessment

Author

DiIorio, Colleen, Reisinger, Elizabeth L., Yeager, Katherine, Schomer, Donald L., Henry, Thomas R., and Shafer, Patricia Osborne

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to document seizure events associated with the use of a computerbased assessment and to describe the contextual factors surrounding these seizure episodes. Study participants were adults with epilepsy who were enrolled at research sites in Atlanta and Boston. Subjects were asked to complete a computerbased assessment at 3 time points. Fourteen seizure events were documented they occurred during 1.6 of all completed assessments 896 and affected 4.4 of the participants 320. The mean age of participants who experienced seizure events was 41.4 years about 70 were female, and 70 were white. A variety of possible precipitating factors for seizure events included hunger, fatigue, stress, and medication changes. Participants indicated computer use could have triggered their seizures in 2 instances. These findings suggest use of computerbased assessments may pose minimal risks for adults with epilepsy, particularly those without a history of photosensitivity epilepsy.
