这份报告提出了一个前瞻性的，以人群为基础的研究癫痫持续状态（SE）在城市的里士满，弗吉尼亚州的初步分析。SE的发生率为每10万人群中每年41例患者。SE总发作频率为每年每100，000人50次。人口死亡率为22%，儿童为3%，成人为26%。对成人和儿童患者癫痫发作类型的评价表明，部分性和全身性SE在这些人群中的发生率很高。根据在弗吉尼亚州里士满实际确定的SE发病率，我们预计美国每年发生126，000至195，000起SE事件，22，200至42，000例死亡。大多数SE患者没有癫痫病史。这些结果表明SE是一种常见的神经系统急症。
This report presents the initial analysis of a prospective, population-based study of status epilepticus (SE) in the city of Richmond, Virginia. The incidence of SE was 41 patients per year per 100,000 population. The frequency of total SE episodes was 50 per year per 100,000 population. The mortality rate for the population was 22%, 3% for children and 26% for adults. Evaluation of the seizure types for adult and pediatric patients demonstrated that both partial and generalized SE occur with a high frequency in these populations. Based on the incidence of SE actually determined in Richmond, Virginia, we project 126,000 to 195,000 SE events with 22,200 to 42,000 deaths per year in the United States. The majority of SE patients had no history of epilepsy. These results indicate that SE is a common neurologic emergency.
