Prevalence of nonconvulsive status epilepticus in comatose patients
Abstract
BACKGROUND: Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) is a form of status epilepticus (SE) that is an often unrecognized cause of coma. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the presence of NCSE in comatose patients with no clinical signs of seizure activity. METHODS: A total of 236 patients with coma and no overt clinical seizure activity were monitored with EEG as part of their coma evaluation. This study was conducted during our prospective evaluation of SE, where it has been validated that we identify over 95% of all SE cases at the Medical College of Virginia Hospitals. Only cases that were found to have no clinical signs of SE were included in this study. RESULTS: EEG demonstrated that 8% of these patients met the criteria for the diagnosis of NCSE. The study included an age range from 1 month to 87 years. CONCLUSION: This large-scale EEG evaluation of comatose patients without clinical signs of seizure activity found that NCSE is an underrecognized cause of coma, occurring in 8% of all comatose patients without signs of seizure activity. EEG should be included in the routine evaluation of comatose patients even if clinical seizure activity is not apparent.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
