Abbreviations: AOR, adjusted odds ratio; ICU, intensive care unit; RCSE, refractory convulsive status epilepticus.
The results of AORs for multivariable analysis using logistic regression models, with untimely first-line benzodiazepine treatment (ā„10 minutes after seizure onset) as the predictor and different tertiary clinical outcomes. Each outcome was adjusted for age, structural etiology, febrile RCSE, no neurological history, generalized RCSE, continuous RCSE, and use of 5 or more ASMs.
Not able to do the same tasks as before at hospital discharge.
