Seizure characterization and electroencephalographic features in Glut-1 deficiency syndrome.

abstract：PURPOSE:To examine which variables available early in the course of childhood epilepsy are associated with a poor short-term outcome and to develop models to predict such an outcome. METHODS:We prospectively followed up 466 children with newly diagnosed epilepsy for 2 years. Variables were collected at intake and afte...
