Implication

Retrospective analysis evaluates detection latencies of status epilepticus and short seizures in critically ill adults, suggesting implications for resource allocation.

Key Points

This research aims to compare the detection latencies of status epilepticus and short seizures using continuous electroencephalogram in critically ill adults.
Retrospective analysis of data from the CERTA trial (NCT03129438) involving critically ill adults.
Evaluation of detection latencies for short seizures (lasting < 5 min) versus status epilepticus (SE; ≥ 5 min) on continuous electroencephalogram.
Correlation of results with mortality and functional outcomes at 6 months.
Status epilepticus was detected with a median latency of 0 min compared to 375 min for short seizures (p < 0.030).
Higher mortality was observed in patients with seizures/SE (24/29) compared to those without (65/153), with statistical significance (p < 0.001).
Functional outcomes at 6 months were comparable between patients with and without seizures/SE.
