| Abstract | Background: Among post-stroke morbidities, post-stroke epilepsy (PSE) has been identified as a significant clinical issue. Although middle cerebral artery (MCA) infarct is the most common type of stroke among all vascular territories, very few studies specifically focused on the risk factors leading to PSE in patients with MCA infarct. Methods: A population study in Taiwan has been conducted, linking the National Health Insurance Research Database (NHIRD) and Hospital Stroke Registry, from 2001 to 2015 and 2006 to 2010, respectively. Patients were divided into MCA and non-MCA groups, and the diagnosis of incident epilepsy between the groups has been compared. The multivariable Cox proportional hazard model was used to identify the risk factors for developing PSE. The distribution of time to PSE was estimated using the Kaplan–Meier method. Results: In total, 1,838 patients were recruited, with 774 and 1,064 in the MCA and non-MCA groups, respectively. PSE incidence in MCA group was 15.5% versus 6.2% in the non-MCA group, with a hazard ratio of (95% CI) 2.06 (1.33–3.19). Factors significantly associated with PSE included atrial fibrillation, depression, National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores of ≥ 16, and alert on arrival. For patients with MCA infarct, higher NIHSS and Glasgow coma scale scores, the presence of visual field defects and weakness, urination control impairment, and complications during hospitalization were associated with a higher risk for PSE development. Conclusions: This study established the conditions leading to a higher risk of PSE and identified the important clinical risk factors in patients experiencing MCA infarct. Efforts to manage these risk factors may be important in preventing PSE in MCA infarct patients. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
