Stiripentol for the Treatment of Refractory Status Epilepticus

August 5, 2024 updated by: Leona Möller, University Hospital Marburg
The investigators retrospectively analyzed all patients who were admitted to the Department of Neurology at Marburg University Hospital between 2013 and 2023 with a diagnosis of (super)-refractory status epilepticus and who received additional treatment of SE with STP. All patients who received STP during the SE were included, regardless of previous medication.

Detailed Description

The investigators retrospectively analyzed all patients who were admitted to the Department of Neurology, University Hospital Marburg, Germany, between 2013 and 2023 with a diagnosis of status epilepticus, who received additional treatment of SE with STP. They were able to identify 25 patients who received STP as add on therapy. All these patients suffered from RSE or SRSE. Since there was no SOP or treatment algorithm available, they have listed the individual treatment regimens in Table 2. 5 of these patients were previously published in a case series (Strzelczyk et al. 2015).

Treatment success was defined as continuous interruption of the SE. Descriptive statistics are reported as absolute numbers and percentages, mean ± standard deviation (SD) or median ± median absolute deviation.

The study was approved by the local IRB.
