Abstract

Background: Status epilepticus (SE) can lead to sequelae or even death. Identifying characteristics associated with poor outcome is crucial in guiding patient treatment, To our information, there is no data illustrating the prevalence and outcome of cases with critical tumor illness with AMS accompanied to non-convulsive seizures (NCS) or NCSE, Aim and objectives: the aim of the study was to evaluate risk factors and prognosing in cases with Status epilepticus (SE) treated in neurointensive care units, Subjects and methods: This was a retrospective cohort investigation, in which 50 cases had SE-episodes were included, We in retrospect analyzed all SE-episodes managed over an interval of 2-yrs (April 2019 to April 2021) in the NICU at the …… hospital. Results: the commonest cause was idiopathic (40%), the commonest trigger factor was poor compliance (38%). 88% of the patients were recurrent SE, Conclusion: many conditions have complicated the image in daily practice so real-life data are vital so as to recognize real cases in the ward. No severe seasonality of SE patients has been found. In our study, the commonest cause of SE was idiopathic, the commonest trigger factor was poor compliance and most of the patients were recurrent SE
