Abstract Background: To investigate the influential factors of complications on prognosis of patients with status epilepticus, modify the Complication Burden Index （CBI）into the Rankin CBI（RCBI）, and analyze its practicability in status epilepticus in western China. Method: A total of 396 patients with status epilepticus were studied from December 2016 to January 2019 in West China Hospital. The clinical data were collected, including demographic characteristics, status epilepticus characteristics. Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS 22.0 and MedCalc ROC，and logistic regression was used to analyze the influencing factors of hospitalization death and poor prognosis (GOS scale is 1-3). Results: Of the 396 patients with status epilepticus included in the study, 43 (10.9%) died in hospital and 114 (28.8%) had poor prognosis. Using ROC curve analysis, when RCBI > 3, the area under the ROC curve of hospitalization death was 0.914 , p < 0.0001; When RCBI > 3, the area under ROC curve for poor prognosis was 0.882, p < 0.0001. There were 327 people with convulsive status epilepticus, including 41 deaths. When RCBI>3, the area under the hospital mortality curve was 0.915 (p<0.0001). A total of 100 patients had a poor prognosis. When RCBI>3, the area under the poor prognosis curve was 0.867 (p<0.0001). Conclusions: The hospital mortality rate of patients with status epilepticus is 10.9%. RCBI >3 points had a certain significance for predicting hospitalization death and poor prognosis of status epilepticus. There were no significant differences in RCBI scales for convulsive status epilepticus and non-convulsive status epilepticus.

Objectives: To determine the in hospital mortality of convulsive status epilepticusin a tertiary care facility. Study Design: Cross sectional study. Place and Duration of Study:Neurology ward, Jinnah Postgraduate Medical Centre, Karachi, Medicine Department ofPeoples University Of Medical And Health Sciences Nawabshah from July 2015- Dec 2015.Material and Methods: All patients of either gender with age >15 years with status epilepticus,were included in the study. A detailed clinical history and relevant neurological examinationwas performed. All the patients who fulfill the inclusion criteria were enrolled in the study afterinformed written consent and explanation of the study protocol. All the information including inhospital mortality was entered on annexed proforma. All the patients were observed three to fivedays. Results: A total of 108 patients were included in this study fulfilling the inclusion criteria.The overall mean age of these patients was 31.3 ± 13.5 years. The age range of these patientswas 16 to 76 years. History of epilepsy was found in 106 (93.5%) of the patients, 88 (81.5%) ofthe patients had status epilepticus in past, 56 (51.9%) of the patients had drug withdrawal, 20(18.5%) of the patients had febrile illness and 2 (1.9%) of the patients had in hospital mortality.There was no statistical significance proportion difference was observed when comparedgender, history of epilepsy and status of epilepticus in past by in hospital mortality (p-values>0.05). Statistical significance proportion difference (p-value <0.05) was found in age and inhospital mortality. Conclusion: We recommend further studies to reach the firm conclusion.

Abstract This guideline addresses the emergency management of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) in children and infants older than 1 month of age. It replaces a previous position statement from 2011, and includes a new treatment algorithm and table of recommended medications based on new evidence and reflecting the evolution of clinical practice over the past several years. This statement emphasizes the importance of timely pharmacological management of CSE, and includes some guidance for diagnostic approach and supportive care.

Introduction. Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) has been traditionally a challenging electroencephalographic (EEG) diagnosis. For this reason, Salzburg consensus criteria (SCC) have been proposed to facilitate correct diagnosis. Methods. We retrospectively reanalyzed 41 cases referred to our department (from 2016 to 2018) under the suspicion of NCSE. In this study, we compared the original description (standard criteria) versus the updated description (SCC) of the same EEG. Results. Originally, 15 patients were diagnosed as NCSE (37%) and 26 patients as no NCSE (63%), using the standard criteria. Then, we analyzed EEGs according to the SCC, which led to the following results: 9 patients fulfilled the criteria for definite NCSE (22%), 20 patients were diagnosed as possible NCSE (49%) and 12 patients were diagnosed as no NCSE (29%). Subsequently, when we analyze the outcome of possible NCSE cases, we note that 50% of these patients presented mild-poor outcome (neurological deficits, deceased). Indeed, we observed worse outcomes in patients previously diagnosed as no NCSE and untreated, specifically post-anoxic cases. Conclusions. Salzburg criteria seem to be a useful tool to support NCSE diagnosis, introducing the category of possible NCSE. In our study, we observed that it contributes to improving the prognosis and management of the patients. However, more prospective studies are needed to demonstrate the accuracy of SCC.
