Clinico-Etiological Profile and Outcome of Children with Status Epilepticus Admitted in Paediatric Intensive Care Unit of a Tertiary Care Hospital - A Prospective Observational Study
Saba Ekta, Shashank Kumar, Bankey Behari Singh

This study examines the clinical-etiological profile and outcomes of 80 children with status epilepticus (SE) hospitalised to the Paediatric Intensive Care Unit (PICU) at Anugrah Narayan Magadh Medical College and Hospital over a year. All patients received IV benzodiazepines and several needed extra antiseizure drugs, highlighting the main causes of acute symptoms. A large percentage of patients recovered after discharge, whereas a tiny percentage died. A quarter of patients had neurological problems. The findings emphasise the need for early identification and customised treatment of SE in youngsters. This study shows that paediatric SE should be treated and followed up to improve long-term outcomes in this vulnerable population.
