Risk of Poststroke Epilepsy Among Young Adults With Ischemic Stroke or Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Abstract

This study suggests that the risk of PSE among young adults is relatively low and that the factors that were associated with PSE were similar to variables included in the existing risk scores, which can therefore also be applied for young adults after stroke. Future clinical trials should investigate the optimal primary and secondary prophylaxis for patients at high risk.
