Early posttraumatic seizures in non‐accidental head injury: relation to outcome
Bibliographic record
Abstract
To document the characteristics of early posttraumatic seizures (EPTS) in non‐accidental head injury (NAHI), and examine their relation with outcome, a retrospective study was carried out. All children with NAHI admitted to the Royal Hospital for Sick Children, Edinburgh, since 1981 were identified. The characteristics of EPTS, EEG, and outcome were noted. Forty‐four cases were identified. The average age of children at presentation was 5.9 months. Thirty‐two of these children had EPTS. The median length of follow‐up was 3 years. The mortality rate was six in 44 (14%). The neurodevelopmental outcome correlated significantly with the presence and severity of EPTS (Tau=0.317, p =0.017). Of survivors, 22% developed late posttraumatic epilepsy; the outcome in those with epilepsy was significantly worse than those without ( p <0.0001). It was concluded that the severity of the primary brain injury dictates the severity of the EPTS and neurodevelopmental status at follow‐up.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
