Takeaway
Despite decreasing critical care and acute hospital mortality, the rising number of patients admitted to a Critical Care Unit (CCU) for status epilepticus in the UK is of concern.
Why this matters
In the UK, most patients with life-threatening neurological conditions are treated on general CCUs rather than in specialist neurological CCUs (NCCUs).
It is therefore important to understand if patients with the same condition, have the same outcomes in the different CCUs.
