- Abstract
Introduction: status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening disorder associated with high morbidity in SE survivors. Patients and methods: descriptive and analytical cross-sectional study with the aim to characterize the prevalence and relation with socio-demographic, electroencephalography and neuro-image variables as well as clinical outcomes of hospitalized patients who received video-electroencephalogram (video-EEG) monitoring, at Hospital de San José in Bogotá, Colombia, between August 2017 and August 2019. Results: of the 135 patients who received video-EEG monitoring, 27.47% met the criteria for SE. The median age was 48 (SD: 19.56) years, 54.05% (n=20) were men and 75.67% (n=28) had no history of epilepsy. There was a predominance of motor manifestations (70.27%, n=26), 59.46% had an unfavorable STESS score, while 64.86% (n=24) required induced coma and monitoring in the intensive care unit (ICU) and 37.84 % (n=14) died during their hospital stay. A relationship was found between SE, requiring admission to the ICU and in-hospital death. Conclusions: the prevalence of SE in hospitalized patients monitored by video-EEG was close to 28%, and a relationship between SE, requiring ICU admission and in-hospital death is suggested.
