Abstract

This retrospective case–controlled study was performed to evaluate whether Epileptiform Activity, suspected clinical seizures, and/or 2HELPS2B/S after nontraumatic Intraparenchymal Hemorrhage or Subarachnoid Hemorrhage can predict Epilepsy. Hundred and thirty‐two patients were included—29 (Epilepsy), 103 (Control Group). After matching, the average effect for all three risk factors was significant as follows: (1) Epileptiform Activity (p = 0.012, odds ratio 3.14), (2) suspected seizures (p = 0.021, odds ratio 3.78), and (3) 2HELPS2B/S score (p < 0.001, odds ratio 4.94). This study shows that Epileptiform Activity, suspected seizures, and particularly, the 2HELPS2B/S score in the acute phase are risk factors for the development of epilepsy after nontraumatic intraparenchymal and subarachnoid hemorrhage.
