Objective: Previous studies have shown conflicting results regarding the significantly prolonged QT interval in epilepsy, which could be attributed to the method of calculating the corrected QT (QTc). This study aimed to investigate the impact of the method on the calculation of QTc by determining the agreement between these methods using the Bland-Altman plot.
