Abstract/OtherAbstract:
We conducted a retrospective multicenter study on children who had been included in eight studies published between November 2001 and July 2010 to explore the correlations between burst-suppression coma (BSC) with outcome in febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES). The 77 enrolled patients presented with prolonged refractory status epilepticus. BSC was induced in 46 patients. Cognitive levels at follow-up were significantly associated with duration of a BSC (p=0.005). The outcome of FIRES is poor. Treatment by inducing a prolonged BSC was associated with a worse cognitive outcome.
