External validation and comparison of clinical scores for predicting late seizures after intracerebral hemorrhage in Chinese patients
CONCLUSION: Our study showed that the CAVE, CAVS and LANE scores had similar AUCs for the occurrence of late seizures, but the LANE score had a relatively high PPV at the optimal cutoff score. Due to low evidence for using prophylactic antiseizure medications (ASM) in patients with ICH and poor availability of specialist stroke care in China, the LANE score with a cutoff score of 3 could be an applicable prediction tool in Chinese patients with ICH.PMID:37441984 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109349

The natural history of epilepsy and nonepileptic seizures in Sturge-Weber syndrome: A retrospective case-note review
This study explored the natural history of epileptic and nonepileptic seizures into adulthood in patients with SWS, and their treatment, and investigated whether any clinical factors predict which symptoms a patient will experience during adulthood.METHODS: A retrospective case-note review of a cohort of 26 adults with SWS at the National Hospital for Neurology and Neurosurgery (NHNN). Childhood data were also recorded, where available, to enable review of change/development of symptoms over time.RESULTS: The course of epilepsy showed some improvement in adulthood - seventeen adults continued to have seizures, while six pa...

Associations of small vessel disease and acute symptomatic seizures in ischemic stroke patients
CONCLUSION: In this cohort of hospitalized patients with anterior circulation ischemic stroke, CMBs were more likely to be found in patients with ASS than those without ASS, an association that was attenuated when accounting for stroke severity, cortical infarct location, and hemorrhagic transformation. Evaluation of the long-term risk of seizures associated with CMBs and other markers of small vessel disease is warranted.PMID:37329856 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109233

Neutrophil to lymphocyte ratio is associated with the epilepsy after primary intracerebral hemorrhage
CONCLUSION: High NLR at admission is associated with an increased risk of PSE, which suggests that NLR may play a role in risk stratification in patients with ICH.PMID:36963316 | DOI:10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109177

Prevalence, electroclinical spectrum and effect on the outcome of non-convulsive status epilepticus in critically ill patients; the utility of routine electroencephalogram
Epilepsy Behav. 2023 Feb 28;141:109144. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2023.109144. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTOBJECTIVES: To highlight the importance of routine electroencephalogram (rEEG) in detecting non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE), describing the electroclinical spectrum and effect on outcome in critically ill patients with altered mental status (CIPAMS).METHODS: This retrospective study was conducted at King Fahd University Hospital. Clinical data and EEG recordings of CIPAMS to rule out NCSE were reviewed. All patients had at least 30 minutes of EEG recording. The Salzburg Consensus criteria (SCC) were applied to d...

Impact of acute symptomatic seizures and their management on patient-reported outcomes after stroke
The objective of our study is to evaluate the association between PROMs and ASyS and ASMs following stroke.METHODS: We performed a retrospective cohort study of all stroke patients who underwent inpatient continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring performed due to suspected ASyS, including the ones with observed convulsive ASyS, from 04/01/2012 to 03/31/2018, who completed PROMs within 6 months of hospital discharge. Patient-reported outcome measures, including one Neuro-QoL and six PROMIS v1.0 domain scales, were completed by patients as the standard of care in ambulatory stroke clinics. Since ASMs are sometimes used without clearl...

Drug-resistant epilepsy at the age extremes: Disentangling the underlying etiology
Epilepsy Behav. 2022 May 25;132:108739. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2022.108739. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe incidence of epilepsy is highest at the extreme age ranges: childhood and elderly age. The most common syndromes in these demographics - self-limited epilepsies of childhood and idiopathic generalized epilepsies in pediatric age, focal epilepsy with structural etiology in older people - are expected to be drug responsive. In this work, we focus on such epilepsy types, overviewing the complex clinical background of unexpected drug-resistance. For self-limited epilepsies of childhood and idiopathic generalized epilepsi...

Atrial fibrillation is associated with a subsequent epilepsy diagnosis independent of stroke: A retrospective matched administrative cohort study on 149,632 patients
Epilepsy Behav. 2022 May 13;132:108721. doi: 10.1016/j.yebeh.2022.108721. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTRecently there has been a rising interest in the identification and possible prevention of risk factors for epilepsies. In the present study, we investigated the potential association between atrial fibrillation (AF) and epilepsy in a German cohort of ambulatory patients aged ≥18 with an initial diagnosis of atrial fibrillation documented in 1274 general practices in Germany between January 2005 and December 2018. Using the IQVIA Disease Analyzer database, we identified 74,681 ambulatory patients with AF. These were ma...
