Model Helps Guide Poststroke Seizure Risk and Driving Decisions
Driving a motor vehicle is an important skill set. Its evaluation is relevant to patients who have had a stroke. These patients struggle to get back to driving because of physical deficits, including challenges from neglect and apraxia and the risk of unexpected future complications like seizures. Advances in acute stroke management have led to improved survival after stroke, and, therefore, more people are expected to have poststroke epilepsy (PSE). It has become critical to determine which patient who had a stroke is at a greater risk of PSE and should consequently be warned about driving. Source: PMID: 38749673.
