Abstract

In our study, pEEG detected PDs in less than one-fourth of the CIPAMS. The frequency and peri-ictal features of PDs are important EEG parameters that should be considered while optimizing the treatment or monitoring the patients vigilantly. PDs can affect the mortality and outcomes in CIPAMS and need to be studied further.
