Abstract

fetched live from OpenAlex

Objective : We reviewed our experience in 96 consecutive patients exhibiting periodic lateralized epileptiform discharges (PLEDs) on EEG. Methods : EEG reports from January 1, 1999 to September 30, 2006 were screened for the term ‘PLEDs’ and its variants. A retrospective chart review, including examination of neuroimaging and other investigations, was conducted on each patient identified. Results : Acute stroke, tumor and central nervous system infection were the most common etiologies, accounting for 26%, 12% and 12% of cases respectively. Acute hemorrhage and traumatic brain injury combined accounted for another 12%. Previously unreported etiologies included posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), familial hemiplegic migraine and cerebral amyloidosis. There were 9 cases of chronic PLEDs attributable to underlying cortical dysplasia or severe remote cerebral injury, all with an accompanying partial seizure disorder. A prominent role for alcohol withdrawal was noted, and in 6 cases was the sole etiological factor. Fever was present as a potential contributing factor in 40% of cases, and significant metabolic abnormalities in 35%. Seizure activity occurred in 85% of patients overall, but in 100% of patients with PLEDs Plus and BiPLEDs Plus. The overall mortality rate was 27%. Mortality among patients with BiPLEDs however was almost twice that, at 52%. Conclusions : This case series demonstrates the wide variety of potential PLED etiologies. It also emphasizes that despite advances in neurocritical care, the morbidity and mortality associated with PLEDs has changed little since their recognition four decades ago.

Full frame distilled prediction

Teacher imitation

Not 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.
