The results of clinical electroencephalograms (EEGs) are frequently described in case reports and other types of studies in the scientific literature. These can add crucial diagnostic and prognostic information. However, the way in which such reports is described is very variable.
The group leading the GRACE reporting guideline development aims to provide guidance on what information authors should provide about a clinical EEG when it is written up for the medical literature. The guidance will help authors describing EEGs methods and results in trials, case reports and series and other observational studies, and diagnostic accuracy studies.
The group includes representation from clinical neurophysiology, neurology, neurosurgery, psychiatry and paediatric neurology. They already reviewed the literature and they plan to conduct a two-round Delphi survey, and a consensus meeting. They also plan to pilot the guideline before publication.
The GRACE reporting guideline development started in September 2022 still with no specific funding. They plan to publish in 2023 as an open access paper.
