Outcomes after acute symptomatic seizures in children admitted to a neonatal neurocritical care service
Pediatric Neurology Apr 26, 2018
Glass HC, et al. - Researchers assessed the prevalence of and risk factors for epilepsy among survivors of acute symptomatic neonatal seizures who were cared for by a Neonatal Neurocritical Care Service. Compared to previous reports, this study indicated a lower risk of epilepsy and older age at onset. These may be due to multiple factors including a neurocritical care approach, treatment of hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy with hypothermia, high rate of neonatal transition to palliative care, and exclusion of neonatal onset epilepsies. The risk of epilepsy was not reduced by the continuation of anti-seizure medications in infancy.
