- Response to: Does reliability benefit from superior visualization of epileptiform discharges on inferior temporal electrodes?Publication . Batista, Carla; Soares, Joana Isabel; Coelho, Paulo; Ferreira, Simão; Rosenzweig, Ivana; Borges, Daniel Filipe; Borges, Daniel Filipe; Ferreira, SimãoWe thank Dr. Kleine for his thoughtful letter regarding our study and for highlighting both the anatomical rationale and the recognized clinical relevance of inferior-temporal electrodes. We welcome the opportunity to clarify specific numerical points and to provide the inter-reviewer agreement data he requested. Our study was intentionally designed as a prospective, blinded, within-subject technical validation comparing the IFCN-recommended 25-electrode 19-channel 10–20 International System (10–20 IS) in consecutive(IFCN-25) array with the conventional 19-channel 10–20 International System (10–20 IS) in consecutive adult EEGs. Importantly, it was not framed as a diagnostic or superiority trial: no external gold standard was applied, and both montages were treated methodologically as equivalent acquisition systems. The primary endpoint was patient-level detection of any abnormality (IEDs or focal slow activity) under blinded real-world conditions. In this reply, we address exclusively the point raised by Dr. Kleine concerning inter-reviewer agreement for temporal-lobe IEDs, providing the 2 × 2 tables and κ values requested. These analyses represent a clear subset of the broader dataset already published and are provided here for transparency.
