This is a research study that looks back at medical records from adults who have experienced status epilepticus — a serious condition where seizures don't stop on their own and require emergency treatment. Researchers want to understand how different treatment decisions, monitoring strategies, and complication management affect how patients recover and do over time.
Severe prolonged seizures are life-threatening medical emergencies, and doctors don't always have clear guidance on the best way to treat them or predict which patients will have better or worse outcomes. This study aims to fill that gap by learning from real patient experiences.

Participation involves allowing researchers to review your medical records from your hospital stay and treatment for seizures. You would not need to undergo new tests or take new medications. The study team will gather information about your diagnosis, treatment, and recovery to help improve care for future patients with the same condition.
