Abbreviations: BMI, body mass index (calculated as weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared); DEE, developmental and epileptic encephalopathies.

a

Includes polymicrogyria, hypothalamic hamartoma, cortical dysplasia, and absence of septum pellucidum.

b

Includes ischemic stroke, hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy, and traumatic brain injury.

c

Includes generalized epileptic encephalopathy, focal DEE, multifocal DEE, late-onset infantile spasms, and DEE unclassified.

d

During the 1-month baseline period. Patients can appear in more than 1 seizure type and therefore will not sum to 33.
