Abstract:
|
Seizures and seizure-like brain activity patterns (ictal-interictal continuum, IIC) are common in critically ill neuro ICU patients. However, whether IICs directly leads to adverse outcomes is unclear, partially due to a strong feedback loops existing in hospital treatment. Recent advances in causal inference holds promise in estimating a less biased causal effect for IIC burden while providing interpretable results to aid doctors decision making.
