Abstract

Systemic complications are common in status epilepticus. We have no tools to evaluate total burden of complications and its effect on the outcome of status epilepticus. For Complication Burden Index (CBI) a patient is assessed for 13 complication categories: respiratory, cardiovascular, nervous, renal, hepatic, coagulation, gastrointestinal and musculoskeletal systems, electrolyte/acid-base balance, infection, hypo-/hyperglycemia, skin/allergic reactions, and mental condition. Maximum CBI is 13. CBI was internally validated in a retrospective cohort of 70 consecutive adult patients with generalized convulsive status epilepticus (GCSE) treated in a tertiary hospital over a period of 2 years. Functional outcome at discharge was defined Poor for Glascow Outcome Scale (GOS) 1-3 or worse-than-baseline condition and Good for GOS >3 or return to baseline condition. Relative risks (RRs) and receiver-operating characteristic (ROC) -curves were calculated to obtain optimal cutoff. Functional outcome was poor in 40% and worse-than-baseline in 59%. In-hospital mortality was 7%. Average CBI was 3.8 (range 0-10, median 3). Cutoff value predicting poor functional outcome was a CBI >3 (GOS 1-3 RR 1.84, P = .045, 95% confidence interval [CI 1.0...Continue Reading

Cardiovascular Disease Pathophysiology

Cardiovascular disease involves several different processes that contribute to the pathological mechanism, including hyperglycemia, inflammation, atherosclerosis, hypertension and more. Vasculature stability plays a critical role in the development of the disease. Discover the latest research on cardiovascular disease pathophysiology here.

Allergy and Asthma

Allergy and asthma are inflammatory disorders that are triggered by the activation of an allergen-specific regulatory t cell. These t cells become activated when allergens are recognized by allergen-presenting cells. Here is the latest research on allergy and asthma.

Blood Clotting Disorders

Thrombophilia includes conditions with increased tendency for excessive blood clotting. Blood clotting occurs when the body has insufficient amounts of specialized proteins that make blood clot and stop bleeding. Here is the latest research on blood clotting disorders.
