Data were summarized using frequencies and proportions. Chi-squared and Mann–Whitney U tests were used to test the categorical values, while logistic regression was used to determine the predictive factors for neurologic comorbidities. Results The prevalence of neurologic comorbidities among CWE versus controls was 65 vs. 15% (p < 0.001). Factors associated with neurologic comorbidities in CWE include younger age at onset of epileptic seizures (p < 0.003), severity of seizures (p < 0.001), history of status epilepticus (p < 0.044), background history of intracranial infections (p < 0.029), and the use of combination antiepileptic drugs (p < 0.001). Predictors of comorbidities in CWE were treatment with sodium valproate and polytherapy. Conclusion Neurologic comorbidities are more frequent among CWE than controls; therefore, screening for neurologic comorbidities should be routine when assessing and managing CWE.</description><content:encoded><![CDATA[Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1791678 Background Epilepsy is the most common neurologic disorder affecting children in Nigeria.

Methods Retrospective analysis of electroencephalography (EEG) data from children with spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage while intubated and sedated in the pediatric intensive care unit. Patients were selected for having normal head imaging at time of EEG start and required demonstration of hemorrhage on repeat imaging following an uninterrupted period of EEG recording. Power spectrum data were analyzed to yield a COIN value and visualization for every 4 seconds of recording. EEG recordings were subdivided based on COIN-risk alarm states (low, medium, or high). Changes in COIN were compared with changes in commercially available quantitative EEG trending software. COIN values for each subdivision were compared within cases using the Wilcoxon Rank-Sum Test. Results Two children developed spontaneous intracranial hemorrhage while intubated. COIN shows transitions from low-to-medium (p < 0.001) and medium-to-high-risk (p < 0.001 in both cases) alarm states. Discrete transitions in COIN alarm state preceded clinical recognition of hemorrhage by several hours. COIN visualized focal power attenuation concordant with hemorrhage localization. In both cases, qualitative EEG was not reported to have focal abnormalities during the medium-risk alarm state. Conclusion COIN may assist in real-time recognition of intracranial hemorrhage in children at bedside. Further study and development are required for clinical implementation of COIN in several clinical settings where patients are at high risk of new or worsening intracranial hemorrhage.</description><content:encoded><![CDATA[Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1788052 Significance Recognition of intracranial hemorrhage is challenging in children who require deep sedation to tolerate mechanical ventilation.

Objective This study analyzes the clinical, laboratory parameters, and treatment outcomes of children with SE to identify preventable risk factors. Materials and Methods Prospective observational study of 150 children. They were evaluated for relevant history, clinical features, laboratory investigations, treatment, course, and outcome. Results The risk factors that had an impact on outcome in children with SE were identified as red flag signs on initial pediatric advanced life support (PALS) assessment, malnutrition, abnormal head circumference and number of seizures before child presented to hospital. The strongest predictor of outcome was stable status of children on initial PALS assessment (odds ratio = 20.174 [1.117, 364.393], p = 0.042). Presence of abnormal head size was 86% less likely to have favorable outcome and if the child had lesser number of seizures before child presented to hospital (single), it was 3.7 times likely that it would yield a favorable outcome. Conclusion Aggressive treatment of seizures, identification of red flag signs on initial PALS assessment, identification and treatment of malnutrition, anemia, hypocalcemia, and sodium derangements, strengthening vaccination to prevent central nervous system infections, and early intervention for developmental delay, can all help to combat morbidity and mortality in children with SE.</description><content:encoded><![CDATA[Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy DOI: 10.1055/s-0044-1787859 Introduction Status epilepticus (SE) is a common neurological emergency in children.

The strongest predictor of outcome was stable status of children on initial PALS assessment (odds ratio = 20.174 [1.117, 364.393], p = 0.042). Presence of abnormal head size was 86% less likely to have favorable outcome and if the child had lesser number of seizures before child presented to hospital (single), it was 3.7 times likely that it would yield a favorable outcome. Conclusion Aggressive treatment of seizures, identification of red flag signs on initial PALS assessment, identification and treatment of malnutrition, anemia, hypocalcemia, and sodium derangements, strengthening vaccination to prevent central nervous system infections, and early intervention for developmental delay, can all help to combat morbidity and mortality in children with SE. <a href="/DOI/DOI?10.1055/s-0044-1787859">[...]</a> Georg Thieme Verlag KG Stuttgart · New YorkArticle in Thieme eJournals: <a href="https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/issue/eFirst/10.1055/s-00029025">Table of contents</a> | <a href="https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/abstract/10.1055/s-0044-1787859">Abstract</a> | <a href="https://www.thieme-connect.com/products/ejournals/html/10.1055/s-0044-1787859">Full text</a>]]></content:encoded><dc:title>Status Epilepticus in Children at a Tertiary Care Center in India: Etiology, Preventable Risk Factors, and Short-Term Outcome</dc:title><dc:creator>Merani, Kejal</dc:creator><dc:creator>Masavkar, Sanjeevani Satish</dc:creator><dc:identifier>DOI:10.1055/s-0044-1787859</dc:identifier><dc:source>Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy ; : -</dc:source><dc:date>2024-06-25T14:17:34+01:00</dc:date><prism:publicationName>Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy</prism:publicationName><prism:publicationDate>2024-06-25T14:17:34+01:00</prism:publicationDate><prism:volume/><prism:number>eFirst</prism:number><prism:section>Original Article</prism:section><prism:startingPage/><prism:endingPage/><prism:doi>10.1055/s-0044-1787859</prism:doi><prism:url>http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0044-1787859</prism:url></item><item rdf:about="http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0044-1779440"><title>Retraction Note: Relationship Between Multiple Sclerosis and Spiritual Distress</title><link>http://dx.doi.org/10.1055/s-0044-1779440</link><description>An investigation by the publisher found a number of articles, including this one, published in Journal of Pediatric Epilepsy in Volume 12, Number 03, 89-90, in September 2023 (DOI: 10.1055/s-0043-1764149), with a number of concerns, including but not limited to undeclared conflicts of interest and manipulated peer review procedures.
