— Hospitalized patients with seizure burden of at least 50% had poor outcomes

Hospitalized patients who had a high seizure burden based on a point-of-care electroencephalography (EEG) algorithm had four times higher odds of an unfavorable functional outcome compared with those who had no seizure burden, reported Masoom Desai, MD, of the University of New Mexico in Albuquerque.
