A Community-Based Screening Tool for Childhood Epilepsy: Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Validation of the INDT-EPI Tool in Punjabi-Speaking Indian Population
The Punjabi version of the INDT-EPI tool is a reliable and consistent instrument for diagnosing epilepsy in children. Its excellent psychometric properties make it suitable for non-specialist healthcare providers. By enabling early diagnosis, it can improve patient outcomes and address the need for effective epilepsy diagnosis where specialized resources are scarce.
