Emergency response to out-of-hospital status epilepticus: A 10-year observational cohort study

Conclusions: Among patients admitted with out-of-hospital SE, CSE is mostly recognized while NCSE is frequently missed especially in patients with increasing age and no seizure history. This calls for heightened awareness for out-of-hospital NCSE in such patients, as missed NCSE is associated with lack of treatment and less recovery to functional baseline in survivors independent of established outcome predictors.
