Low GCS, higher baseline ICH volume, presence of IVH and need for ventilatory assistance are independent predictors of mortality. Most of the patients at discharge were disabled. Surgery did not improve mortality or outcome.
Our results indicate that medically refractory epilepsy patients believe that they spend more time sleeping, in contrast to the documented shorter sleep duration on polysomnography. This difference between perceived and actual sleep seems, by their data, to arise mainly from sleep fragmentation, disturbed architecture and the interesting finding of associated sleep apnea among the medically refractory epilepsy patients.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
