Abstract
Objective. To investigate the prevalence and risk factors for electrical status epilepticus during slow-wave sleep (ESES) in patients with self-limited epilepsy with centrotemporal spikes (SeLECTS). Methods. The clinical and follow-up data of children with SeLECTS were collected between 2017 and 2021. Patients were divided into typical ESES, atypical ESES, and non-ESES groups according to spike-wave indices (SWI). Clinical and electroencephalography characteristics were retrospectively analyzed. Logistic regression was used to identify risk factors for ESES. Results. A total of 95 patients with SeLECTS were enrolled. Seven patients (7.4%) developed typical ESES, 30 (31.6%) developed atypical ESES, 25 (26.3%) developed ESES at the first visit, and 12 (12.6%) developed ESES during treatment and follow-up. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors for SeLECTS combined with ESES were Rolandic double or multiple spikes (OR = 8.626, 95% CI: 2.644-28.147, P < .001) and Rolandic slow waves (OR = 53.550, 95% CI: 6.339-452.368, P < .001). There were no significant differences in seizure characteristics, electroencephalogram (EEG) findings, or cognitive impairment between the atypical and typical ESES groups. Conclusion. More than one-third of the SeLECTS patients combined with ESES. Both atypical and typical ESES scores can affect cognitive function. On electroencephalography, interictal Rolandic double/multiple spikes and slow-wave abnormalities may indicate SeLECTS with ESES.

Abstract
BACKGROUND About 70% to 80% of epilepsy cases are related to genetic factors. Genetic research has revealed the genetic etiology and molecular mechanisms of childhood epilepsy, which has increased our understanding of childhood epilepsy. METHODS We searched the core collection of Web of Science for relevant papers on genetic research on childhood epilepsy published since 2010 on November 30, 2022. In this study, original articles and reviews in English were included. Using CiteSpace and VOSviewer online tools, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of the countries, institutions, journals, co-cited journals, co-cited references, keywords, and research hotspots. RESULTS We evaluated 2500 literatures on epilepsy genomics in children. Among them, 96 countries published relevant articles, with the United States ranking the most. A total of 389 institutions have contributed relevant publications, and the University of Melbourne has published the most papers. Epilepsy journals were the most commonly cited. The references of papers were clustered into 9 categories: gene testing, epileptic encephalopathy, Dravet syndrome, focal cortical dysplasia, Rolandic epilepsy, copy number variation, ketogenic diet, monogenic epilepsy, and ptt2 mutation. Burst keywords represent the frontier of research, including developmental and epileptic encephalopathy (2021-2022), neurodevelopmental disorders (2020-2022), gene testing (2020-2022), and whole-exome sequencing (2019-2022). CONCLUSION This study conducted a systematic and objective bibliometric analysis of the literature on epilepsy gene research in children. More importantly, it revealed the hot spot, frontier, and future developmental trends in the field. It will help pediatricians and geneticists further understand the dynamic evolution of genetic research on pediatric epilepsy.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Sleep and epilepsy have an established bidirectional relationship yet only one randomised controlled clinical trial has assessed the effectiveness of behavioural sleep interventions for children with epilepsy. The intervention was successful, but was delivered via face-to-face educational sessions with parents, which are costly and non-scalable to population level. The Changing Agendas on Sleep, Treatment and Learning in Epilepsy (CASTLE) Sleep-E trial addresses this problem by comparing clinical and cost-effectiveness in children with Rolandic epilepsy between standard care (SC) and SC augmented with a novel, tailored parent-led CASTLE Online Sleep Intervention (COSI) that incorporates evidence-based behavioural components. METHODS AND ANALYSES CASTLE Sleep-E is a UK-based, multicentre, open-label, active concurrent control, randomised, parallel-group, pragmatic superiority trial. A total of 110 children with Rolandic epilepsy will be recruited in outpatient clinics and allocated 1:1 to SC or SC augmented with COSI (SC+COSI). Primary clinical outcome is parent-reported sleep problem score (Children's Sleep Habits Questionnaire). Primary health economic outcome is the incremental cost-effectiveness ratio (National Health Service and Personal Social Services perspective, Child Health Utility 9D Instrument). Parents and children (≥7 years) can opt into qualitative interviews and activities to share their experiences and perceptions of trial participation and managing sleep with Rolandic epilepsy. ETHICS AND DISSEMINATION The CASTLE Sleep-E protocol was approved by the Health Research Authority East Midlands (HRA)-Nottingham 1 Research Ethics Committee (reference: 21/EM/0205). Trial results will be disseminated to scientific audiences, families, professional groups, managers, commissioners and policymakers. Pseudo-anonymised individual patient data will be made available after dissemination on reasonable request. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER ISRCTN13202325.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE To understand the impact of interictal spikes on brain connectivity in patients with Self-Limited Epilepsy with Centrotemporal Spikes (SeLECTS). METHODS Electroencephalograms from 56 consecutive SeLECTS patients were segmented into periods with and without spikes. Connectivity between electrodes was calculated using the weighted phase lag index. To determine if there are chronic alterations in connectivity in SeLECTS, we compared spike-free connectivity to connectivity in 65 matched controls. To understand the acute impact of spikes, we compared connectivity immediately before, during, and after spikes versus baseline, spike-free connectivity. We explored whether behavioral state, spike laterality, or antiseizure medications affected connectivity. RESULTS Children with SeLECTS had markedly higher connectivity than controls during sleep but not wakefulness, with greatest difference in the right hemisphere. During spikes, connectivity increased globally; before and after spikes, left frontal and bicentral connectivity increased. Right hemisphere connectivity increased more during right-sided than left-sided spikes; left hemisphere connectivity was equally affected by right and left spikes. CONCLUSIONS SeLECTS patient have persistent increased connectivity during sleep; connectivity is further elevated during the spike and perispike periods. SIGNIFICANCE Testing whether increased connectivity impacts cognition or seizure susceptibility in SeLECTS and more severe epilepsies could help determine if spikes should be treated.
