Systematic review of the probability of future seizures after initial seizure or other event creating an increased future risk.

Publications

The purpose of the work reported here is to quantify, from existing published and unpublished research, the risk of seizure recurrence following either an initial fit or a clinical event which increases seizure risk, and by type. The findings reported are those of a systematic review of the existing literature relating to the probability of further seizures occurring at various time intervals after an initial seizure or seizure-provoking incident, such as head injury, neurosurgery, tumour or stroke.
