Newborn infants are more prone to seizures than older children and adults. The neuronal injury caused by seizures in neonates often results in long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae. There are several ...
1. To assess whether any ASM is more or less effective than an alternative ASM (both ASMs used as first-, second- or third-line treatment) in achieving seizure control and improving neurodevelopmental...
We searched MEDLINE, Embase, CENTRAL, Epistemonikos and three databases in May 2022 and June 2023. These searches were not limited other than by study design to trials....
We included randomised controlled trials (RCTs) that included neonates with EEG-confirmed or clinically diagnosed seizures and compared (1) any ASM versus an alternative ASM, (2) maintenance therapy w...
Two review authors assessed trial eligibility, risk of bias and independently extracted data. We analysed treatment effects in individual trials and reported risk ratio (RR) for dichotomous data, and ...
We included 18 trials (1342 infants) in this review. Phenobarbital versus levetiracetam as first-line ASM in EEG-confirmed neonatal seizures (one trial) Phenobarbital is probably more effective than l...
Phenobarbital as a first-line ASM is probably more effective than levetiracetam in achieving seizure control after the first loading dose and after the maximal loading dose of ASM (moderate-certainty ...
The differential diagnosis of seizures during pregnancy is extensive and includes potentially fatal underlying diagnoses. Both pregnancy and non-pregnancy related aetiologies should be considered....
A 38-years old pregnant woman presented to the emergency department at 31 weeks and 5 days with generalized tonic-clonic seizures. Initial an eclamptic seizure was suspected. Because the seizures last...
Structural brain changes caused by a high-grade gliomas represent a rare cause of seizure during pregnancy, emphasizing the importance of considering non-obstetric causes of seizures in pregnant women...
Circadian and multidien cycles of seizure occurrence are increasingly discussed as to their biological underpinnings and in the context of seizure forecasting. This study analyzes if patient reported ...
We retrospectively studied if circadian cycles derived from patient-based reporting reflect the objective seizure documentation in 2003 patients undergoing in-patient video-EEG monitoring....
Only 24.1% of more than 29000 seizures documented were accompanied by patient notifications. There was cyclical underreporting of seizures with a maximum during nighttime, leading to significant devia...
Patient seizure diaries may reflect a cyclical reporting bias rather than the true circadian seizure distributions. Cyclical underreporting of seizures derived from patient-based reports alone may lea...
Although the treatment of epilepsy primarily focuses on prevention, recurrent seizures are unfortunately an ongoing reality, particularly in people with epilepsy who live with chronic refractory seizu...
This review first discusses clinical opportunities for rescue medications, with particular attention focused on seizure clusters and prolonged seizures, including their epidemiology, risk factors, and...
Rescue medications should be considered for all people with epilepsy with ongoing seizures. Recent rescue medications including intranasal formulations provide considerable advantages. New rescue medi...
Typical absence seizures (TAS) are seen in idiopathic generalized epilepsy. Electroencephalography (EEG) contributes to syndrome characterization and counseling in an area where genetics does not curr...
Retrospective cohort study of 123 children over 10 years with extensive EEG analysis and medical record review. Phone interviews ascertained longer-term outcomes. EEG reviewers were unaware of outcome...
Total cohort included 123 children with phone review completed in 98. Median follow-up was 5 years 9 months. Seizure freedom was seen in 59% off antiseizure medicines (ASMs). Interictal findings inclu...
Focal and generalized interictal EEG discharges are common in children with TAS and are not associated with poorer outcomes. These interictal findings were traditionally associated with JAE rather tha...
To characterize the duration of seizures and inter-seizure intervals in focal status epilepticus (SE)....
We reviewed consecutive scalp EEG recordings from adult patients who were admitted for a first episode of focal status epilepticus. We identified electrographic seizure duration and inter-seizure inte...
We recorded 307 focal seizures in 100 consecutive focal SE episodes, with a median seizure duration of 107 s (IQR: 54-186), and 134 isolated focal self-limiting seizures in 42 epilepsy patients, with ...
Focal seizures within a SE episode showed a wide range of duration, partly overlapping with the duration of focal self-limiting seizures but with a longer median duration. Inter-seizure intervals with...
To prioritize emergency medical calls for ambulance transport for patients with suspected seizures, information about whether the event is their 1st or non-1st seizure is important. However, little is...
We statistically compared severity of suspected seizures between two groups of patients with suspected seizures transferred between December 2014 and November 2019 (before the coronavirus disease 2019...
Among 5996 patients with suspected seizures conveyed to the emergency department by ambulance a total of 14,263 times during the study period, 1222 times (8.6%) and 636 patients (11%) met the criteria...
In direct comparisons, grade of suspected seizure severity was lower in the Non-1st Group than in the 1st Group....
To complete a descriptive study of seizure etiology in a large population of eating disorder (ED) patients and to better understand whether malnutrition itself, in those with EDs, is associated with s...
In this retrospective study, 75 patients with documented seizures met inclusion criteria from a total of 1664 charts....
Prevalence of seizures in this ED cohort was found to be 4.5%, with 29.3% of individuals experiencing seizures due to psychogenic nonepileptic seizures (PNES). Other common causes of seizures included...
Several etiologies of seizures are reported from this large sample of ED patients, and this is also the first study to report on a possible association of WE as a cause of seizures in ED patients. The...
The medical complications of EDs are myriad but seizures have not historically been considered one of those direct complications of malnutrition. The findings of this retrospective study suggest that ...
The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity of the Revised Optimism-Pessimism Scale (PSM-R) as a measure of attributional style, and the incremental utility of optimism and pessimism as ...
Children experiencing epileptic seizures (ES) and children experiencing non-epileptic seizures (NES) may experience deficits in both executive functioning and in social skills, but little research has...
