创伤后癫痫协会与长期患有严重的创伤性脑损伤的功能结果

Glasgow Outcomes Scale Stratified by Time For this figure, all patients who developed PTE, regardless of timing, are included in the PTE category. Among patients with PTE, there is a similar rate of favorable outcomes at 3 months (p = 0.11). Patients with PTE have significantly lower rates of favorable outcomes at 6, 12, and 24 months posttrauma (p < 0.05). Noting that patients with PTE have lower rates of mortality at 3, 6, and 12 months, this effect is driven by higher rates of vegetative (GOS 2) and severe disability (GOS 3) states in patients with PTE compared with patients without PTE (p < 0.01). By 24 months, the rate of GOS 2–3 in patients with PTE (46% [95% CI: 34%–59%]) is more than double the rate in patients without PTE (21% [95% CI: 16%–28%]; p < 0.001) despite similar mortality rates (p = 0.11). GOS = Glasgow Outcome Scale; PTE = posttraumatic epilepsy.
