Background In addition to other stroke-related deficits, the risk of seizures may impact driving ability after stroke. Methods We analysed data from a multicentre international cohort, including 4452 adults with acute ischaemic stroke and no prior seizures. calculated Chance Occurrence Seizure in next Year (COSY) according SeLECT 2.0 prognostic model. considered COSY<20% safe for private <2% professional driving, aligning commonly used cut-offs. Results risks year were mainly...
Background: Acute symptomatic seizures (ASyS) increase the risk of epilepsy and mortality after a stroke. The impact timing type ASyS remains unclear. Methods: This multicenter cohort study included data from nine centers between 2002 2018, with final analysis in February 2024. 4,552 adults (2,005 female; median age 73 years) ischemic stroke no seizure history. We examined occurring within seven days Main outcomes were all-cause epilepsy. Validation three separate cohorts 74 ASyS. Results:...
