Outpatient Enrollees

This is a cohort of 150 subjects who were previously enrolled in the Neonatal Seizure Registry, a multi-center association of institutions across the United States, They were contacted to participate in the study after discharge from the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) but prior to the prospective follow up. They were asked to take part in all prospective follow up surveys at 12, 18, \& 24 months of age.

Intervention Type OTHER

Regarding development, epilepsy, and family impact

NICU Enrollees

This is a cohort of 150 subjects who were enrolled in the study prior to discharge from the NICU. They were asked to complete surveys prior to discharge from the NICU, returned to the hospital for a 1 hour EEG to monitor brain activity between 2-4 months of age, \& completed the follow surveys at 12, 18, \& 24 months of age.
