1st Nordic Status Epilepticus Meeting, 27-28 May 2021

ERGO has together with colleagues in Bergen and Trondheim arranged the first Nordic Status Epilepticus meeting in 2021. Status epilepticus, a condition of continuous epileptic activity, is a common medical emergency associated with high morbidity and mortality. In a recent publication from Oslo University Hospital, mortality was still around 10%. Earlier studies have shown mortality rates from 3–50% depending on etiology. About 9–31% of patients with status epilepticus fail to respond to standard treatment.
