Popis: We are developing seizure descriptions as a basis for decision support. Based on an existing dataset we used the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula to estimate how many neurologist/epileptologists are needed to obtain reliable seizure descriptions (rho = 0.9). By extending the number of participants to the required level we found that the number of participants needed to obtain a reliability coefficient of 0.9 were in accordance with the number of participants determined from the Spearman-Brown prophecy formula. Systematic differences between the participants were minor and not statistically significant.
