There were no significant differences in patient background characteristics between the 2 groups. Simplified electroencephalography was recorded in 52 patients in the post group. Benzodiazepines were administered in 44 of 69 patients (63.8%) in the pre group and 44 of 93 (47.3%) in the post group, and the benzodiazepine administration rate was significantly decreased after the introduction of sEEG (\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      = 0.04).
