Summary
The primary objective of this study is to prospectively assess in randomized fashion whether
short term anti-seizure prophylaxis in traumatic brain injured patients decreases the
incidence of seizures in the early post-injury period. A secondary objective is to evaluate
whether there are differences in mortality, hospital length of stay, functional outcome at
hospital discharge, hospital cost, discharge status (home, rehabilitation facility, etc.) for
patients who receive and do not receive anti-seizure prophylaxis.
