What this trial studies

This observational study aims to create a prospective registry for patients experiencing Convulsive and Non-Convulsive Status Epilepticus (SE) in critical care settings. It involves collecting comprehensive data on patient demographics, seizure characteristics, treatment timelines, and outcomes, including vital status and Glasgow Outcome Scale scores at various time points. The study will utilize standardized forms to ensure consistency in data collection across multiple hospitals. The goal is to better understand the circumstances and treatment of SE in critically ill patients.

Who should consider this trial

Good fit: Ideal candidates for this study are adults aged 18 years and older who are experiencing Status Epilepticus.

Not a fit: Patients under 18 years of age or those with postanoxic status epilepticus will not benefit from this study.

Why it matters

Potential benefit: If successful, this study could improve the management and outcomes of critically ill patients suffering from Status Epilepticus.

How similar studies have performed: While there have been studies on Status Epilepticus, this registry approach is relatively novel and aims to fill gaps in existing knowledge.
