GPD-related mortality was linked to poor mental status, cardiac arrest, COPD.

Dementia, poor mental status during electroencephalogram (EEG), chronic focal abnormalities on neuroimaging, cardiac arrest, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) were independently associated with increased in-hospital mortality in patients with generalized periodic discharges (GPDs), according to an analysis of 113 patients at 3 hospitals. To determine the prognostic significance of GPDs observed during EEGs, Jadeja et al reviewed EEG tracings of the patients, of whom there were 60 inpatient deaths (53.1%).
