PSE was associated with reduced quality of life and greater healthcare costs compared to stroke survivors without epilepsy. Seizure recurrence was more likely in younger adults. No clear sex differences were noted for any outcomes. Compared to enzyme\u2010inducing antiseizure medications, non\u2010enzyme inducing medications were associated with fewer recurrent seizures and readmissions and less medication discontinuation.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Significance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>PSE was associated with poorer quality of life compared to stroke survivors who did not develop epilepsy.

Across studies, those with PSE had a reduced quality of life than stroke survivors without epilepsy. The use of newer antiseizure medications was linked with fewer recurrent seizures, readmissions, and medication discontinuations compared to older antiseizure medications. The findings of this study can help guide further research and practice improvement to reduce the immense health and economic burden of PSE.<\/jats:p>\n
