Risk factors and neurodevelopmental outcomes of post-neonatal seizures up to age three in very-low-birthweight infants based on a nationwide cohort [PDF]
Scientific ReportsWe assessed the risk factors of post-neonatal anti-epileptic medications after neonatal intensive care unit discharge (PD-AED) and neurodevelopmental (ND) outcomes by age three in very-low-birth-weight infants (VLBWIs), with 7,292 VLBWIs born in 2013 ...

Neonatal seizures: diagnostic updates based on new definition and classification [PDF]
Clinical and Experimental Pediatrics, 2022 Neonatal seizures are the most common neurological symptoms caused by various etiologies in the neonatal period, but their diagnosis and treatment are challenging because their pathophysiology and electroclinical manifestations differ from those of ...

Annals of Neurology, 2007 AbstractIn childhood, the risk for seizures is greatest in the neonatal period. Currently used therapies have limited efficacy. Although the treatment of neonatal seizures has not significantly changed in the past several decades, there has been substantial progress in understanding developmental mechanisms that influence seizure generation and ...

STUDY OF CLINICAL AND ETIOLOGICAL PROFILE OF NEONATAL SEIZURES IN TERTIARY CARE HOSPITAL
National Journal of Medical Research, 2023 Introduction: Neonatal seizure is defined as paroxysmal electrical discharge from the brain. The immature brain seems more prone to seizures. The incidence was found to increase with decreasing gestation and birth weight- preterm neonates (20.8 vs.

Anti-seizure medications for neonates with seizures
Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews, 2022 Newborn infants are more prone to seizures than older children and adults. The neuronal injury caused by seizures in neonates often results in long-term neurodevelopmental sequelae. There are several options for anti-seizure medications (ASMs) in neonates. However, the ideal choice of first-, second- and third-line ASM is still unclear.
