Abstract

Introduction: Intracranial hemorrhages (ICH) are at high risk for long-term morbidity and morbidity in terms of complications such as epilepsy. In our study, we aimed to determine the effect of epileptic seizure seen after ICH on early mortality and to provide information to the literature.

Methods: My study was done retrospectively. A total of 238 patients with a confirmed diagnosis of ICH who met the inclusion criteria were included in the study. In the classification of the seizure as early and late; early seizure up to the 14th day after bleeding; Seizures observed on the 14th day and above were classified as late seizures.

Results: In the demographic data There was no significant difference between the groups in terms of age. Seizure + 57.7% of cases were male; seizure – 52.7% of the cases were male and the groups were not different in terms of gender. When the effect of seizure type on 30-day mortality was examined, it was observed that mortality was significantly higher in cases with late seizures.

Conclusions: We determined that the epileptic seizure seen after ICH has an effect on mortality. Therefore, it is necessary to be careful in terms of mortality in cases with seizures. Especially in cases with late seizures, mortality is higher than in cases with early seizures, so it is necessary to be careful in terms of mortality in cases with late seizures. In addition, we found that the use of antiepileptic drugs did not affect mortality.

İntrakraniyal Kanamalar Sonrasında Oluşan Epileptik Nöbetin Erken Dönem Mortalite Üzerine Etkisi

Abstract

Giriş: İntrakraniyal kanamalar (İKK) akut fazda genellikle hematomun ve çevreleyen ödemin nöronal iletim üzerindeki yıkıcı etkisini gösteren epilepsi gibi komplikasyonlar açısından uzun dönem morbidite ve morbidite için yüksek risk altında kalmaktadır. Epileptik nöbet, İKK sonrasında akut ve uzun dönemde sık görülen durumlardan biridir. Çalışmamızda, İKK sonrasında görülen epileptik nöbetin erken dönem mortalite üzerine etkisini tespit edip literatüre bilgi sağlamayı amaçladık.

Methods: Çalışmamı retrospektif olarak yapıldı. Çalışmaya dahil edilme kriterlerini karşılayan 238 kesinleşmiş İKK tanılı hasta çalışmaya dahil edildi. Nöbetin erken dönem ve geç dönem olarak sınıflandırmasında; kanama sonrası 14. güne kadar erken nöbet; 14. gün ve üzeri süreçte görülen nöbet ise geç dönem nöbet olarak sınıflandırıldı.

Results: Olguların demografik verilerinde; nöbet + olanlarda yaş ortanca değeri 69,0 yıl; nöbet – olgularda yaş ortanca değeri 69,0 ve tüm olgularda ise yaş ortanca değeri 69 yıl olup; gruplar arasında yaş açısından anlamlı fark tespit edilmedi. Nöbet + olguların %57,7’si erkek; nöbet – olguların %52,7’si erkek olup cinsiyet açısından da gruplar farklı değildi. Nöbet tipinin 30 günlük mortalite üzerine etkisi incelendiğinde ise geç dönem nöbet geçiren olgularda mortalitenin anlamlı olarak yüksek olduğu görüldü

Conclusions: İKK sonrasında görülen epileptik nöbetin mortalite üzerine etkisinin olduğunu tespit ettik. Bu nedenle nöbet geçiren olgularda mortalite açısından dikkatli olmak gerekmektedir. Özellikle geç dönem nöbet görülen olgularda mortalite erken dönem nöbet geçiren olgulara göre daha fazla olduğundan geç dönem nöbet görülen olgularda mortalite açısından dikkatli olmak gerekmektedir. Ayrıca antiepileptik ilaç kullanımının mortalite üzerine etki etmediğini tespit ettik. Daha kapsamlı çalışmalar yapılması ile bu konuda daha net bilgilerin elde edileceğini düşünmekteyiz.
