The DIAS3 score is a simple tool to predict the risk of epilepsy after cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in adults. It was developed and validated in three large international CVT cohorts. ja.ma/4fdMXoM

Thank you Perpetual Limited for the tremendous support for my research program via a prestigious Ramaciotti Health Investment grant. I aim to improve the diagnosis and treatment of first seizures and #epilepsy in Australia. Thank you!!

A few interesting patterns๐Ÿค” 1) Prolonged EEGs (ambulatory/EMU) seem more prevalent in the US than in other high-income countries. 2) The decision to diagnose epilepsy/start ASM is quite variable, almost a 50-50 split. Excellent Practice Current survey by Fรกbio Nascimento's team.
