abstract = {PurposeWe here evaluated (1) the differential
characteristics of status epilepticus (SE) in older (≥60
years) compared to younger adults (18–59 years). In
particular, we were interested in (2) the proportion and
characteristics of new onset SE in patients with no history
of epilepsy (NOSE) in older compared to younger adults, and
(3) predictive parameters for clinical outcome in older
subjects with NOSE.MethodsWe performed a monocentric
retrospective analysis of all adult patients (≥18 years)
admitted with SE to our tertiary care centre over a period
of 10 years (2006–2015) to evaluate clinical
characteristics and short-time outcome at
discharge.ResultsOne-hundred-thirty-five patients with SE
were included in the study. Mean age at onset was 64 years
(range 21–90), eighty-seven of the patients $(64\%)$ were
older than 60 years. In 76 patients $(56\%),$ SE occurred as
NOSE, sixty-seven percent of them were aged ≥60 years.
There was no age-dependent predominance for NOSE. NOSE was
not a relevant outcome predictor, especially regarding
age-related subgroups. Older patients with NOSE had less
frequently general tonic clonic SE (GTCSE; p = 0.001) and
were more often female (p = 0.01). Regarding outcome
parameters and risk factors in older patients with NOSE,
unfavourable outcome was associated with infections during
in-hospital treatment (0.04), extended stay in ICU (p =
0.001), and generally in hospital (p < 0.001).ConclusionIn
our cohort, older patients represented the predominant
subgroup in patients with SE. Older patients suffered more
often from non-convulsive semiology and had a less
favourable short-time outcome. NOSE was not a predictive
outcome parameter in older patients. Data suggest that
avoiding infections should have a priority because higher
infection rates were associated with unfavourable outcome.},
