Damian M, et al. - Researchers assessed survival for patients admitted to the Critical Care Unit (CCU) for status epilepticus (SE), to ascertain any change over time in the risk of mortality and to determine if admission to different unit types influences death risk over and above other risk factors. For this purpose, they analyzed the Intensive Care National Audit & Research Centre database and the Case Mix Programme Database (January 2001 - December 2016). They defined units as neuro-CCU (NCCU), general CCUs with 24-hr neurological support or general CCU with limited neurological support. They found an increasing number of patients were admitted to CCU for SE but there was a decline in critical care and acute hospital mortality. Higher mortality was seen in patients treated in NCCU but this was explicable by more severe underlying disease.
