Description
Margaret Banker and Andrew Naidech reply to a critique of their study on preventive seizure drugs after brain bleeding in a 2026 letter. Critics warned of immortal time bias, since treated patients had to stay seizure free until treatment could start. The authors note the median gap from symptom onset to arrival was 4.3 hours, a short window for an untreated seizure. They ran added sensitivity checks and agree that dose and seizure times would help future work.
