Key result
Increased seizure duration (OR 1.131/hour, p=0.0057) and delay to diagnosis (OR 1.039/hour, p=0.0351) were significantly associated with increased mortality in ICU patients with nonconvulsive seizures.

May prompt faster EEG monitoring in ICU nonconvulsive seizures; leaves open prospective confirmation of mortality benefit.
Observational (n=49)
Odds Ratio: 1.131
p-value: p=0.0057
Young et al. (1996) conducted an observational in Nonconvulsive seizures (n=49). Seizure duration and delay to diagnosis was evaluated on Mortality (OR 1.131, p=0.0057). Increased seizure duration (OR 1.131/hour, p=0.0057) and delay to diagnosis (OR 1.039/hour, p=0.0351) were significantly associated with increased mortality in ICU patients with nonconvulsive seizures.
