Admission neutrophil-to-lymphocyte ratio predicts length of hospitalization and need for ICU admission in adults with Status Epilepticus

Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency characterized by a high mortality and morbidity rate, and high healthcare costs associated [1]. Early seizure interruption, to prevent time-dependent neuronal damage, must be considered the primary goal of the treatment. The speed of intervention and the risk of long-term consequences depends mainly on the type of clinical presentation, roughly divided into convulsive status epilepticus and non-convulsive status epilepticus (NCSE) according to the presence or absence of prominent motor symptoms [2].
