Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This retrospective observational cohort study is to assess and analyze clinical, electroencephalographic, laboratory, comorbidity, and treatment characteristics of Intensive care unit (ICU)-patients with epileptic seizures and to subsequently compare their characteristics with ICU-patients with status epilepticus (SE).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

The aim of this retrospective observational cohort study is to get further insight into adult patients with epileptic seizures in ICUs in an academic tertiary medical care center regarding frequency, clinical and electroencephalogram (EEG) characteristics, treatment, course and outcome. This data could help understanding the epidemiology (including risk factors, influence of EEG), and to guide management and improve outcomes of affected patients.
