Seizure recurrences in generalized convulsive status epilepticus under sedation: What are its predictors and its impact on outcome?

CONCLUSIONS: Seventeen percent of patients with a GCSE requiring MV suffered from uncontrolled SE. Etiology and persistent seizures at admission were the main predictors of uncontrolled SE. Patients with uncontrolled SE had a longer duration of sedation and MV, a poor functional outcome and a higher mortality. Further studies are required to determine the impact of continuous electroencephalogram monitoring on the clinical course.PMID:38052663 | DOI:10.1016/j.neurol.2023.09.006
