CONCLUSION: Pediatric status epilepticus is highly associated with neurological morbidity. The main pre.dictor of outcome is underlying symptomatic etiology of SE and to a lesser degree the presence of a history of epilepsy. Duration does not seem to play a major role.  LIMITATIONS:The main limitation is the retrospective chart review nature of the study with possible bias.
