Time-dependent risk of seizures in critically ill patients on continuous electroencephalogram.
Find the optimal continuous electroencephalographic (CEEG) monitoring duration for seizure detection in critically ill patients. ⋯ The initial risk of seizures on CEEG is dependent on history of prior seizures and presence of coma. The risk of developing seizures on CEEG decays to <5% by 24 hours if no epileptiform EEG abnormalities emerge, independent of initial clinical risk factors. Ann Neurol 2017;82:177-185.
