RESUMO

PURPOSE@#Super refractory status epilepticus (SRSE) is an uncommon, but important clinical problem with high morbidity and mortality. Studies concerning SRSE has been limited and there are no existing Philippine data. The study aims to determine the status of Refractory (RSE) and SRSE within a 10-year period in a Tertiary Hospital.@*METHODS@#This is a retrospective study of adult patients with prolonged seizures admitted at The Medical City, Philippines from January 2009- July 2018. Multinomial Logistic Regression was used to assess probability of good or poor outcome. Significant Correlation is defined by P value of <0.05. @*RESULTS@#The Incidence of RSE is as high as 38% (n=64) and 35% (n=58) for SRSE. Mortality rate is 39.1% in RSE and 62.1% in SRSE. Poor functional outcome is observed in RSE and SRSE wherein the majority was Alive Dependent. Significant factor increasing likelihood of being Alive Dependent is the absence of Arrest. @*CONCLUSION@#Factors associated with likelihood of being alive and independent includes Status Epilepticus and younger age therefore aggressive seizure control to prevent progression to SRSE will give higher likelihood of good functional outcome and elderly patients warrant closer and more adept seizure control for better functional outcome.
