Article Synopsis
- The study examined the recurrence risk of seizures in elderly patients (60+) after their first unprovoked seizure, noting a recurrence rate of about 24.5% after one year and 34.4% after two years.
- It found that starting anti-seizure medication (ASM) significantly lowered the risk of recurrence, even in cases where no clear epileptogenic lesions or abnormal EEG results were present.
- The research suggests that factors like age and coexisting health issues influenced the decision to prescribe ASM, but did not directly impact the likelihood of seizure recurrence.
