Indexed incrossrefpubmed
Abstract
Background
Refractory status epilepticus (RSE) is a life-threatening condition in which seizures do not respond to first- and second-line anticonvulsant drug therapy. How often RSE occurs, risk factors that predispose to this condition, and the effect of failure to control seizures on clinical outcome are poorly defined.
Objective
To determine the frequency, risk factors, and impact on outcome of RSE.
