Only 23% of the survivors of RSE were normal at follow-up; 34% showed developmental deterioration and 36% developed new-onset epilepsy.230 Mortality is related to etiology and is higher in younger children and with multifocal or generalized abnormalities on the initial EEG. RSE due to either an acute symptomatic etiology or a progressive encephalopathy was associated with highest mortality rates. Only one survivor did not have active epilepsy. A shorter duration of suppressive therapy, ultimately with the same outcome and possibly fewer complications, was recommended.231 Source: Focal Epilepsy, Atlas of Pediatric EEG Citation: Laoprasert P.
