Department of Surgery, Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences, Bethesda, MD 20814, USA.
Article Synopsis
- Post-traumatic seizure (PTS) prophylaxis is important for traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients, but there's no standardized drug treatment, though levetiracetam is commonly used in combat-related cases.
- In a study of 687 casualties, 71 patients with combat-related injuries were analyzed, focusing on demographics, injury characteristics, and treatment outcomes over six months.
- Results show that levetiracetam was administered to the majority of these patients, with low PTS incidence (2.8%) and no serious side effects, suggesting it is a safe and effective option for seizure prevention in this population.
