Progress in prognostic factors of neonatal seizures

Neonatal seizure is one of the most common manifestations of newborns, which could lead to severe neurological sequelae, such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, developmental delay, mental retardation and even death.The causes of neonatal seizures are the key factors contributing to prognosis.In addition, individual factors, types of seizure and EEG could affect the prognosis in varying degrees.Therefore, for patients with poor prognosis, early diagnosis and treatment could effectively improve the prognosis and reduce the mortality.
