Abstract

Background: Post-stroke seizure is a common complication of stroke. Post-stroke seizure may progress into post-stroke epilepsy, severely affecting the patient's health and quality of life. In Vietnam, there are currently very few studies found on this condition. Objectives: To determine the incidence of post-stroke seizure and to identify certain  factors associated with post-stroke seizure. Materials and methods: A cross-sectional descriptive study was conducted on 510 patients diagnosed with acute stroke  who were treated at the Department of Neurology, Can Tho Central General Hospital, from May 2023 to January 2025. Results: The incidence of post-stroke seizure was 7.6%. Some of the factors associated with post-stroke seizure were hemorrhagic stroke, cortical involment and initial neurological deficits of moderate-severe level or higher. Conclusion: Post-stroke seizure is a common complication of stroke and may severely affect the patient's quality of life. Some factors associated with the occurrence of post-stroke seizure are hemorrhagic stroke, cortical involvement, and initial neurological deficits of moderate-severe level or higher.
