Predictive factors and prognostic value for status epilepticus in newborns.

Objectives: To evaluate the predictive factors for status epilepticus (SE) in neonates and prognostic factors for patient outcomes in newborns suffering either isolated seizures or SE.

Methods: A retrospective single-center study from January 2010 to December 2014, included 91 newborns who had neonatal seizures. Among them, 50 newborns experienced SE and 41 newborns presented isolated seizures only.
