Burden of status epilepticus: prognosis and cost driving factors, insight from a nationwide retrospective cohort study of the French health insurance database.
Article in Journal of neurology, 2024. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundStatus epilepticus (SE) imposes a significant burden in terms of in-hospital mortality and costs, but the relationship between SE causes, patient comorbidities, mortality, and cost remains insufficiently understood. We determined the in-hospital mortality and cost-driving factors of SE using a large and comprehensive database.
methodsWe conducted a retrospective cohort study involving patients experiencing their first hospitalization with an ICD-10 code diagnosis of SE, spanning from January 1, 2015, to December 31, 2019, using the French health insurance database which covers 99% of population. Patient characteristics, SE causes, Intensive Care Unit (ICU) admissions, mechanical ventilation, discharge status, and health insurance costs were extracted for each hospitalization.
resultsWe identified 52,487 patients hospitalized for a first SE. In-hospital mortality occurred in 11,464 patients (21.8%), with associated factors including age (Odds Ratio [OR], 10.3, 95% Confidence Interval [CI] 7.87-13.8 for ages over 80 compared to 10-19), acute causes (OR, 15.3, 95% CI 13.9-16.8 for hypoxic cause), tumors (OR, 1.75, 95% CI 1.63-1.8), comorbidities (OR, 3.00, 95% CI 2.79-3.24 for 3 or more comorbidities compared to 0), and prolonged mechanical ventilation (OR, 2.61, 95% CI 2.42-2.82). The median reimbursed cost for each SE hospitalization was 6517€ (3364-13,354), with cost factors mirroring those of in-hospital mortality.
conclusionCauses and co-morbidities are major determinants of mortality and hospital costs in status epilepticus, and factors associated with higher mortality are also often associated with higher costs. Further studies are needed to identify their long-term effects.
