Clinical characteristics of poststroke epilepsy in the study population. The median time to epilepsy diagnosis was 283 days. A quarter of the population experienced status epilepticus. Among patients that ever suffered SE, the mean frequency was 0.53 episodes per year. Out of the 35 patients that were started on AED, 46% became seizure free on the first AED, and 55% after trying a second AED
