Predictors of Outcomes of Convulsive Status Epilepticus
Predictors of Outcomes of Convulsive Status Epilepticus: A Hospital-Based Study
Status epilepticus is a life-threatening neurological emergency characterized by prolonged seizures or multiple seizures occurring without the patient regaining consciousness between episodes. Convulsive status epilepticus is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality if not promptly recognized and controlled. While prognostic factors have been studied in various populations, data regarding clinical predictors and hospital outcomes in Upper Egypt remain limited.
The purpose of this prospective, hospital-based observational study is to identify the clinical predictors of short-term outcomes among adult patients presenting with convulsive status epilepticus admitted to Assiut University Hospitals.
All eligible participants aged 18 years and older admitted with convulsive status epilepticus will receive standard-of-care medical management according to institutional clinical protocols. Researchers will systematically collect clinical data, including demographic factors, seizure semiology and duration, underlying etiologies, laboratory tests, neuroimaging findings, and electroencephalography (EEG) results.
Participants will be followed throughout their hospital stay to assess functional outcome at discharge using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS), in-hospital mortality, response to antiseizure treatment, development of refractory or super-refractory status epilepticus, requirement for intensive care unit (ICU) admission or mechanical ventilation, and length of hospital stay.

Studienpopulation
Adult patients presenting with convulsive status epilepticus admitted to the emergency, neurology, or intensive care departments at Assiut University Hospitals. The population includes individuals aged 18 years and older presenting with continuous convulsive seizure activity lasting more than 5 minutes or two or more discrete seizures without full recovery of consciousness between episodes.

Convulsive Status Epilepticus Cohort
Adult patients (aged 18 years and older) admitted to Assiut University Hospitals presenting with convulsive status epilepticus, defined as continuous convulsive seizure activity lasting more than 5 minutes or two or more discrete seizures without full recovery of consciousness between episodes. All enrolled participants receive standard-of-care medical management according to institutional guidelines, including first- and second-line antiseizure medications, anesthetic agents, and intensive care or mechanical ventilation when clinically required. Demographic characteristics, clinical features, etiology, laboratory investigations, neuroimaging, electroencephalography (EEG), and treatment responses are prospectively collected throughout hospitalization until discharge to determine clinical predictors of outcome. |

Modified Rankin Scale Score
Zeitfenster: Up to 30 days
|
Functional outcome assessed using the Modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The mRS is an ordinal scale ranging from 0 (no symptoms) to 6 (death). Scores 0-2 indicate functional independence, while scores 3-6 indicate functional dependence or death. Higher scores reflect worse clinical outcome. |
