Abstract: Objective To investigate the risk factors for post-traumatic epilepsy(PTE)after traumatic brain injury(TBI).Methods According to PTE,169 patients with TBI were divided into PTE group and non-PTE group.Clinical data of the patients were collected and compared.Non-parametric test and binary Logistic regression were used to analyze the risk factors of PTE.Results Compared with those in non-PTE group,there were significant differences in psychiatric symptoms,GCS score,abnormal imaging examination type,injury type and post-traumatic seizures(PTS)ratio in the PTE group(P<0.05-0.01).Binary Logistic regression showed that GCS score,abnormal imaging examination type,psychiatric symptoms and PTS were independent risk factors for PTE(OR=5.825,95%CI:1.062-31.947,P=0.042;OR=6.942,95%CI:1.542-31.244,P=0.012;OR=31.059,95%CI:9.295-103.786,P<0.001;OR=0.099,95%CI:0.042-0.231,P<0.001).Conclusion GCS score,abnormal imaging examination type,psychiatric symptoms and PTS are independent risk factors PTE after TBI.
