Incidence and predictors of seizure in adult patients Admitted with stroke at jimma medical center

Abstract

Seizure is a transient clinical condition resulting from abnormal excessive neuronal activity in the brain. Post-stroke seizures adversely affect functional recovery, length of hospital stay and mortality among stroke patients. Despite its clinical importance in stroke patients, evidence regarding its burden and determinants remains limited in LMICs including Ethiopia. This study aimed to assess the incidence and predictors of post-stroke seizure among adult patients admitted with stroke to Jimma medical center
