The multivariable analysis revealed that a PQ interval ≥240 ms (HR, 2.79; 95% CI, 1.9-7.19, P less then 0.05) or QRS duration ≥120 ms (HR, 9.41; 95% CI, 2.62-33.77, P less then 0.01) were independent factors associated with a higher occurrence of cardiac events than those observed with a PQ interval less then 240 ms or QRS duration less then 120 ms; these cardiac conduction parameters were not related to sudden death. Conclusions Cardiac conduction disorders are independent markers associated with cardiac events. Further investigation on the prediction of occurrence of sudden death is warranted.The decision to continue or to stop antiepileptic drug (AED) treatment in patients with prolonged seizure remission is a critical issue. Previous studies have used certain risk factors or electroencephalogram (EEG) findings to predict seizure recurrence after the withdrawal of AEDs. However, validated biomarkers to guide the withdrawal of AEDs are lacking. In this study, we used quantitative EEG analysis to establish a method for predicting seizure recurrence after the withdrawal of AEDs. A total of 34 patients with epilepsy were divided into two groups, 17 patients in the recurrence group and the other 17 patients in the nonrecurrence group. All patients were seizure free for at least two years. Before AED withdrawal, an EEG was performed for each patient that showed no epileptiform discharges. These EEG recordings were classified using Hjorth parameter-based EEG features. We found that the Hjorth complexity values were higher in patients in the recurrence group than in the nonrecurrence group. The extreme gradient boosting classification method achieved the highest performance in terms of accuracy, area under the curve, sensitivity, and specificity (84.76%, 88
