Patient-Reported Outcomes (PROs) in Acute Symptomatic Seizure (ASyS) Versus Patients With Established Epilepsy.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Acute symptomatic seizures (ASyS) are common in critically ill patients. It is unknown how ASyS affect posthospitalization self-reported health compared to patients with established epilepsy.

Methods

This is a retrospective cohort study from 2010 to 2018. Patients were identified by an institutional epilepsy database (Ebase).
