Socioeconomic deprivation independent of ethnicity increases status epilepticus risk (2009)

A higher incidence of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) has been reported in nonwhite compared to white populations. Socioeconomic factors can be intricately involved in observed ethnic "effects,"...

Treatment of community-onset, childhood convulsive status epilepticus: a prospective, population-based study (2008)

R.F.M., B.G.R., ...

Background Episodes of childhood convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) commonly start in the community. Treatment Of CSE aims to minimise the length of seizures, treat the causes, and reduce adverse...
