Abstract

Our findings demonstrate a significant burden of mortality and neurological sequelae associated with status epilepticus, particularly in Western Africa and the adult population. Hypoglycemia, bacterial meningitis, and inadequate treatment were identified as independent predictors of mortality in patients with status epilepticus.
