This high percentage of epileptiform abnormalities (EAs) in a specific brain region in COVID-19 patients behooves the question if this is a potential epileptic effect from the SARS-CoV-2 infection or if this is a limitation with the EEG requisition method itself; since patients did not receive the minimum required 21-electrode clinical EEG recommended by American Clinical Neurophysiological Society ACNS) (Sinha et al. Whilte the main goal of this study was to report cEEG findings in a cohort of critically ill COVID-19 patients, the putative associations between survival, clinical outcomes (discharge disposition), cohort characteristics (e.g. comorbidities, age, gender) and EEG findings were also explored. As such, the two COVID-19 patients with clinical acute symptomatic seizures captured on EEG from our cohort are rare findings. ./cache/cord-285818-eh12luma.txt ./txt/cord-285818-eh12luma.txt
