Impact of the Occurrence While Sleeping of First Unprovoked Seizure on Seizure Recurrence: A Systematic Review.

ABSTRACT:

Background and purpose

The impact of the occurrence while sleeping of first unprovoked seizure (FUS) on seizure recurrence in people with FUS is currently unclear. This uncertainty makes it challenging for physicians to determine whether to apply antiseizure medications (ASMs) to people with FUS while sleeping (FUS-S). This study aimed to determine the impact of the occurrence while sleeping of FUS.

Methods

We searched the MEDLINE, Embase, Cochrane Library, Web of Science, and Scopus electronic databases. Among retrieved studies, we selected those that provided information on the number of people with FUS, and relapsed people among these in each instance of FUS-S and FUS when waking (FUS-W). We used a random-effects model for meta-analyses.
