Risk factors for developing epilepsy after neonatal seizures.
The objective of this study was to determine clinical and polysomnographic risk factors that might be early predictors for the development of postnatal epilepsy in a cohort of infants with seizures. The study sample included 158 infants who presented two or more clinically proven seizures. Gestational, perinatal, and polysomnographic data were obtained retrospectively. A questionnaire designed ...
متن کاملPostneonatal epilepsy following amplitude-integrated EEG-detected neonatal seizures.
To assess the incidence of postneonatal epilepsy in term infants treated with antiepileptic drugs for neonatal seizure discharges that were detected with amplitude-integrated electroencephalography (aEEG), 206 term infants were monitored using this modality. They received antiepileptic drugs for clinical as well as subclinical neonatal seizures. Follow-up data were analyzed for the development ...
متن کاملRisk of convulsive epilepsy following acute seizures in Kenyan children
Objective The prevalence of epilepsy is high in Africa, and people with epilepsy often have a history of acute seizures. We determined whether acute seizures are associated with risk for epilepsy in rural Africa, where both conditions are common and may have shared risk factors. Methods A total of 16,438 children (2,991 with acute seizures and 13,447 without seizures) admitted to Kilifi Count...
متن کاملRisk factors for carbamazepine elevation and toxicity following epilepsy surgery
UNLABELLED A proportion of patients undergoing epilepsy surgery, and receiving carbamazepine (CBZ), experience significant elevations in CBZ plasma concentrations, some with associated CBZ toxicity. The objective of this study was to identify significant risk factors for elevations (>12 microg/ml) in CBZ concentrations and CBZ-induced toxicity following epilepsy surgery. METHODS We retrospect...
متن کاملAuras and the risk of seizures with impaired consciousness following epilepsy surgery: implications for driving.
OBJECTIVE To calculate the chance of a seizure in the next year (COSY) for seizures with impaired awareness in those experiencing auras only, those with no seizures and those with continuing seizures. Epilepsy surgery is an effective treatment for refractory focal epilepsy. Driving is an important factor affecting quality of life. In the UK, driving is not permitted if focal seizures with no im...
