ABSTRACT

Abstract Background: Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency. Non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) can only be diagnosed by electroencephalogram (EEG) because the motor clinical symptoms are usually subtle or absent, with high mortality. The best treatment is still unknown. Objectives: Our aim was to assess anticonvulsive and anesthetic drugs in NCSE and their correlation with Epidemiology-based Mortality Score in Status Epilepticus (EMSE), Status Epilepticus Severity Score (STESS) and mortality. Methods: Retrospective, observational, descriptive, cross-sectional study. Ninety patients in intensive care unit over 18 years-old (57 females [63.3%] and 33 males [36.6%], mean age 63.5 years [SD ± 19]) with NCSE, at the Buenos Aires British Hospital. Data was collected between January 2018 and June 2021. An adjusted mul tivariate statistical analysis was performed. Ninety-five (95%) CI, p<0.05 as statistically significant. EMSE and STESS were used in this study. Results: Total mortality rate was 37.8% (34/90), and in patients ≥ 65 years-old (54/90) it was 40.7% (22/54). Patients with 0-2 STESS (11/90) were discharged, while those with STESS ≥ 3 (79/90) had a 43% death rate (34/79). Patients with EMSE < 34 (27/90) had 7.4% (2/27) death rate, while those with EMSE ≥ 34 (63/90) had 50.8% (32/63). No significant differences were found in survival with regard to the number of antiepileptic drugs administered. Pa tients treated with anesthetics presented a 2.6-fold death risk increase (95% CI 1.001-6.83). Discussion: It could be assumed that mortality rate increases 2.6-fold when patients are treated with anes thetic drugs, regardless of the number of antiepileptic drugs previously administered.


Resumen Introducción: El estado de mal epiléptico (SE) es una emergencia neurológica. El SE no convulsivo (SENC) se diagnostica únicamente por electroencefalograma de bido a la ausencia o sutileza de sintomatología clínica motora, con una mortalidad elevada. No se conoce aún el mejor tratamiento. Objetivos: Evaluar drogas anticonvulsivas y anestési cas en el SENC y su correlación con Epidemiology-based Mortality Score in Status Epilepticus (EMSE), Status Epilep ticus Severity Score (STESS) y el índice de mortalidad. Métodos: Estudio retrospectivo, observacional, de scriptivo, de corte transversal. Noventa pacientes ≥ 18 años (57 mujeres [63.3%] y 33 hombres [36.6%], media de edad 63.5 años [DS ± 19]) con diagnóstico de SENC, en el Hospital Británico. Estudio realizado entre enero 2018 y junio 2021. Análisis estadístico multivariado ajustado. IC 95% p< 0.05 como estadísticamente significativo. Se utilizaron escalas de EMSE y STESS. Resultados: La mortalidad total fue de 37.8% (34/90). Los pacientes ≥ 65 años (54/90) presentaron una mayor tasa de muerte 40.7% (22/54), todos aquellos con STESS de 0-2 (11/90) egresaron, mientras que entre los que presentaron ≥ 3 (79/90) el 43% (34/79) falleció. De los pacientes con EMSE < 34 (27/90) dos fallecieron (7.4%) y de aquellos con EMSE ≥ 34 (63/90) falleció el 50.8% (32/63). No hallamos diferencias significativas entre cantidad de drogas antiepilépticas utiliza das y supervivencia. Pacientes con anestésicos tuvieron un aumento del riesgo de muerte 2.6 veces (IC 95% 1.001-6.83). Discusión: De acuerdo a esto la mortalidad con drogas anestésicas aumenta, independientemente de la cantidad de drogas anticonvulsivas utilizadas previamente.
