Implications for driving based on the risk of seizures after ischaemic stroke.

BACKGROUND

In addition to other stroke-related deficits, the risk of seizures may impact driving ability after stroke.

METHODS

We analysed data from a multicentre international cohort, including 4452 adults with acute ischaemic stroke and no prior seizures. We calculated the Chance of Occurrence of Seizure in the next Year (COSY) according to the SeLECT

RESULTS

Seizure risks in the next year were mainly influenced by the baseline risk-stratified according to the SeLECT

CONCLUSIONS

Personalised prognostic models, such as SeLECT
