Epileptiform Abnormalities in Acute Ischemic Stroke: Impact on Clinical Management and Outcomes

Conclusions: Despite the high incidence of EA, the rate of Sz in AIS is relatively lower and is associated with the presence of LPDs. These continuous EEG findings resulted in anti-Sz drug changes in one-fifth of the cohort. Epileptiform abnormality and Sz did not affect mortality or discharge functional outcomes.
