Management Challenges and Clinical Characteristics of Refractory Status Epilepticus in Mexico: A 102 Patient Retrospective Cohort Study.

Significance was set at p < 0.05.

Preexisting epilepsy was present in 70.6%, and 29.4% had new-onset RSE.

Median hospitalization was 21.5 days, with mechanical ventilation averaging 8 days.

Preexisting epilepsy was significantly associated with prior SE (p = 0.011), resolution (p = 0.001), unfavorable mRS (p = 0.046), and higher STESS (p = 0.001) and END-IT (p = 0.021) scores.
