Objective: To determine the clinical correlates bilateral independent periodic discharges (BIPDs) and their association with electrographic seizures and outcome.
Methods: Retrospective case-control study of patients with BIPDs compared to patients without periodic discharges ("No PDs") and patients with lateralized periodic discharges ("LPDs"), matched for age, etiology and level of alertness.
Results: We included 85 cases and 85 controls in each group.
Importance: Continuous electroencephalography (EEG) use in critically ill patients is expanding. There is no validated method to combine risk factors and guide clinicians in assessing seizure risk.
Objective: To use seizure risk factors from EEG and clinical history to create a simple scoring system associated with the probability of seizures in patients with acute illness.
Objective: Continuous EEG (cEEG) monitoring of critically ill patients has gained widespread use, but there is substantial reported variability in its use. We analyzed cEEG and antiseizure drug (ASD) usage at three high volume centers.
Methods: We utilized a multicenter cEEG database used daily as a clinical reporting tool in three tertiary care sites (Emory Hospital, Brigham and Women's Hospital and Yale - New Haven Hospital).
Importance: Periodic and rhythmic electroencephalographic patterns have been associated with risk of seizures in critically ill patients. However, specific features that confer higher seizure risk remain unclear.
Objective: To analyze the association of distinct characteristics of periodic and rhythmic patterns with seizures.
