Predictive value of traditional laboratory parameters and inflammatory indices for same‐day seizure recurrence in patients with epileptic seizures

This study looked at whether certain blood test values can help predict if a person who comes to the emergency department (ED) with an epileptic seizure will have another seizure on the same day. Researchers focused on inflammation-related markers found in routine blood tests, such as the neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio (NLR) and systemic immune-inflammation index (SII). We found that these values were higher in patients who had repeated seizures within the same day. However, while these markers showed some association with seizure recurrence, they were not accurate enough to reliably predict it on their own. These findings suggest that simple blood tests might provide helpful clues in emergency settings, but more research is needed to find stronger and more reliable indicators for early seizure recurrence.
