Community-onset pediatric status epilepticus: Barriers to care and outcomes in a real-world setting.

ABSTRACT:

Objective

Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency in childhood, often leading to neuronal damage and long-term outcomes. The study aims to identify barriers in the pre-hospital and in-hospital management of community-onset pediatric SE and to evaluate the effectiveness of pediatric scores on outcomes prediction.

Methods

This monocentric observational retrospective cohort study included patients treated for community-onset pediatric SE in a tertiary care hospital between 2010 and 2021. Data were extracted following Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies in Epidemiology (STROBE) guidelines. Inclusion criteria were community-onset SE (according to the International League Against Epilepsy [ILAE] Task Force on SE Classification), admission to the pediat
