Key Points

  • The aim was to identify factors associated with mortality in posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).
  • Nationwide analysis of patients with PRES
  • Evaluation of in-hospital mortality causes
  • Assessment of respiratory failure, sepsis, and cerebrovascular complications
  • Respiratory failure and sepsis significantly contribute to in-hospital mortality in PRES
  • Prompt neurovascular evaluation may enhance patient outcomes
  • Need for prospective studies with detailed clinical and imaging data to refine prognostic models

Abstract

Respiratory failure, sepsis, and cerebrovascular complications drive in-hospital mortality in PRES. Early airway protection, aggressive supportive care, and prompt neurovascular evaluation for high-risk patients may improve outcomes. Prospective studies with granular clinical and imaging data are needed to refine prognostic models.
