Outcomes of patients with post-stroke epilepsy: A scoping review on quality of life, readmissions, costs, seizure recurrence, and medication adherence

We aimed to review published literature on health and economic outcomes for patients with PSE, with a specific focus on quality of life, hospital readmissions, healthcare costs, seizure recurrence, and medication adherence.
