Validation of the International League Against Epilepsy ( <scp>ILAE</scp> ) Risk of Bias Tool against the Newcastle–Ottawa Scale in epilepsy research
The ILAE tool demonstrated strong reliability and substantial agreement with the NOS while offering epilepsy specific rigor in diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, case finding and representativeness. The ILAE tool offers a reliable, conceptually relevant, field-specific alternative for quality assessment in epilepsy SRMAs.
