Taylor MacLeod to present her translational research at American Epilepsy Society Annual Meeting

The research investigated ways in which the identification and clinical documentation of patients at increased risk for seizure emergency, such as status epilepticus, could be recognized and addressed proactively. The project included a focus group session with epilepsy providers to gather presumed risk factors, as well as a historical chart review of several epilepsy patients in search of these risk factors to assess potential impact. Lastly, a standardized risk assessment tool was drafted and vetted with Neurology providers at Barrow Neurological Institute with favorable response. Click here to read more on Taylor’s work.
