From: Clinical characteristics of post-traumatic epilepsy and the factors affecting the latency of PTE
The distribution of PTE latency. The latency of PTE ranged from 8 days to 20 years, with a median latency of 24.0 (IQR, 5.0–84.0) months. The latency of PTE lasted 8 days to 6 months in 32.70% (936/2862) patients, 7 to 12 months in 13.66% (391/2862) patients, 13 to 24 months in 9.36% (243/2862) patients, 24 to 60 months in 14.99% (429/2862) patients, 61 to 120 months in 17.37% (497/2862) patients, and longer than 120 months in 12.79% (366/2862). The violin plot shows that patients who had TBI at the age ≥ 18 years old, suffered severe TBI, underwent multiple surgical operations CP operation after severe TBI, experienced acute seizures, and had residual disability tend to have a shorter latency
