Design And Setting: A qualitative study among Dutch GPs.

Long-term survival and outcome in children admitted to kilifi district hospital with convulsive status epilepticus.

Objectives. The incidence of convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is high in Africa but the long-term outcome is unknown. We examined the neurocognitive outcome and survival of children treated for CSE in a Kenyan hospital 3 to 4 years after discharge.

Incidence and outcome of convulsive status epilepticus in Kenyan children: a cohort study.

Background: Convulsive status epilepticus (CSE) is the most common neurological emergency in childhood and is often associated with fever. In sub-Saharan Africa, the high incidence of febrile illnesses might influence the incidence and outcome of CSE. We aimed to provide data on the incidence, causes, and outcomes of childhood CSE in this region.
