⌘+K

Key Points

This study aims to report the prevalence of surgical digestive complications in critically ill patients with status epilepticus and their association with hospital mortality.
Retrospective analysis of data from the ICTAL Registry
Included adults admitted to ICUs for status epilepticus
Used logistic multivariable regression for mortality predictors
Digestive complications occurred in 1.6% of patients (16 of 1007), requiring surgery in 37.5% (6 patients)
In-hospital mortality was 50.0% in patients with complications vs. 18.4% without (p = 0.005)
Digestive complications were associated with increased mortality (odds ratio, 3.43; 95% CI, 1.13-10.21; p = 0.03)
