Text: After adjustment for diagnosis, assignment to circulatory arrest as compared with low-flow bypass was associated with a higher risk of clinical seizures (odds ratio, 11. 4 ; 95 percent confidence interval, 1. 4 to 93. 0), a tendency to a higher risk of ictal activity on continuous electroencephalographic (EEG) monitoring during the first 48 hours after surgery (odds ratio, 2. 5 ; 95 percent confidence interval, 1. 0 to 6. 4), a longer recovery time to the first reappearance of EEG activity (only in the group with an intact ventricular septum, P < 0. 001), and greater release of the brain isoenzyme of creatine kinase in the first 6 hours after surgery (P = 0. 046).
