Electroencephalographic biomarkers of epilepsy development in patients with acute brain injury: a matched, parallel cohort study.

Highly epileptic EEG findings in patients with acute brain injury may serve as prognostic biomarkers of epilepsy development. Although prospective studies are required to confirm our findings, it seems that with epilepsy developing in almost one-third cases in less than 2-year follow-up period, such patients may potentially be ideal candidates for epilepsy prevention clinical trials.
