The pooled incidence of post-stroke seizure in 102 008 patients.
CONCLUSIONS: Our meta-analysis showed that seizures occurred in about 6.93% of people with stroke. Seizures occurred more commonly after hemorrhagic stroke and when stroke occurred in the cortical region. PMID: 25920619 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]

Interrelationship Among Common Medical Complications After Acute Stroke: Pneumonia Plays an Important Role Clinical Sciences
Conclusions— Pneumonia is closely associated with the development of several nonpneumonia medical complications after AIS and ICH.

Early-Onset Seizures Are Correlated With Late-Onset Seizures in Children With Arterial Ischemic Stroke Brief Reports
Conclusions— Early-onset seizures occurred in 25.6% of children with arterial ischemic stroke. Younger age and cortical involvement were risk factors for early-onset seizures. Sixty-five percent of children with early-onset seizures had late-onset seizures after the acute stage.

Hemorrhagic Stroke and Cerebral Paragonimiasis Brief Reports
Conclusions— Hemorrhagic stroke typically occurred during the acute stage and in the early stages of further Paragonimus migration. Delay of treatment increased the risk of initial and recurrent stroke.

Comparison of Hypercoagulable Evaluation in Perinatal and Pediatric Ischemic Stroke (P2.261)
Conclusion: Hypercoagulable studies remain under-utilized in the diagnostic evaluation of both perinatal and pediatric ischemic stroke, though more deficient perinatally in our institution. A standard protocol for both pediatric and perinatal patients with ischemic stroke is warranted.Disclosure: Dr. Doan has nothing to disclose. Dr. Barreto has nothing to disclose.

The prognosis of acute symptomatic seizures after ischaemic stroke
Conclusions Seizure recurrence following AS after ischaemic stroke may appear as acute clustering. Afterwards, seizures may occur as often with a recurrent stroke as without one within 4.2 years. We recommend the use of antiepileptic agents for up to 4 years if the underlying stroke aetiology cannot be fully treated.

Epilepsy after TIA or stroke in young patients impairs long-term functional outcome: The FUTURE Study
Conclusions: Epilepsy after stroke in young patients is a common problem that negatively affects functional outcome, even more than 10 years after ischemic stroke.

Influence of seizures on stroke outcomes: A large multicenter study
Conclusions: SSP and SDH have different characteristics. SDH indicates a poorer prognosis in patients. Increased awareness of SSP and efforts to prevent SDH may be important in improving outcomes following clinical stroke care.

Incidence and management of seizures after ischemic stroke: Systematic review and meta-analysis
Conclusions: The burden of stroke-related seizures and epilepsy due to ischemic stroke is substantial. Further studies are required to determine risk factors for epilepsy following ischemic stroke and optimal secondary prevention.

Stroke versus non-stroke neurological complications after cardiac transplant (P4.299)
Conclusions:Neurological complications after CT in our population reach nearly a quarter of patients, similar to or even lower than in previous studies.4.3% of patients developed stroke, ischemic subtype.Pre- and perioperative variables do not differ between both groups, except from ischemic cardiomyopathy as the cause of heart failure being it more frequent in the stroke group.Disclosure: Dr. Vazquez has nothing to disclose.

The beneficial effect of combining neurology and stroke services
Conclusion We demonstrated that patients presenting with acute neurological symptoms may benefit from early review by a neurology specialist doctor. Rapid and accurate identification and treatment of patients with stroke and non-stroke diagnoses, which are often eminently treatable, ensures that both groups receive the correct treatment and that unnecessary medication and admission is avoided.

Frequency, determinants, and effects of early seizures after thrombolysis for acute ischemic stroke: The ENCHANTED trial
Conclusions: In thrombolysis-treated patients with acute ischemic stroke, seizures are uncommon, occur early, and predict poor recovery. Clinicaltrials.gov identifier: NCT01422616.

Neonatal seizures triple the risk of a remote seizure after perinatal ischemic stroke
Conclusions: Remote seizures and epilepsy, including medically refractory epilepsy, are common after perinatal stroke. Neonatal seizures are associated with nearly 3-fold increased remote seizure risk.

Incidence and predictors of epilepsy after pediatric arterial ischemic stroke
Conclusions: RSS and epilepsy are important neurologic sequelae of pediatric AIS. Children with perinatal stroke and CAIS with acute symptomatic seizures are at increased risk of these outcomes. These cohorts need further study to identify biomarkers and potential therapeutic targets for epileptogenesis.
