A practical calculator that predicts the risk of epilepsy after venous stroke is presented in a study from the University of Gothenburg and others. The aim is to improve care for those affected, which are predominantly young adults.

In an international collaboration between fifteen centers across three continents, researchers from Sahlgrenska Academy at the University of Gothenburg and Sahlgrenska University Hospital have developed a practical calculator that quickly calculates the risk of developing epilepsy at the onset of the disease. The results of the multi-center study are now presented in JAMA Neurology and the tool is made freely available.
"The calculator predicts the risk of epilepsy based on factors that are already available in clinical routine when the person is hospitalized, there is therefore no need for additional tests or investigations," he says, and he continues: Erik Lindgren Bogdanoff emphasizes that although epilepsy could have negative impact on the quality of life, most people with epilepsy are able to pursue their life normally even with diagnosis of epilepsy. However, without the proper treatment, seizures can be so severe that they require hospitalization.
