Purpose  To analyze the clinical characteristicsand prognostic factors of Status epilepticus (SE) in children. Methods  The clinical data of 33 children with SE treated in Jinan Central Hospital Affiliated of Shandong University from January 2014 to June 2021 were collected, and their clinical characteristics were analyzed. Then, according to Glasgow prognosis scale, the children were divided into good prognosis group (n=20) and poor prognosis group (n=13). The age of first attack, duration of attack, type of attack and SE classification, EEG, cranial imaging and etiology were used to analyze the influencing factors of SE prognosis. Results  75.7% were 0 ~ 6 years old in the age of first attack, and 29 cases of convulsive status epilepticus accounted for 87.9% in the classification of seizure types. There were significant differences in age of first attack, duration of attack, EEG, history of mental retardation and etiology between the two groups (P<0.05); Logistic regression analysis showed that the age of first attack, duration of attack, history of mental retardation and EEG were independent factors affecting the prognosis. Conclusion  Low age, especially ≤ 6 years old, is the high incidence of SE in children at first attack. Most children are symptomatic and have obvious incentives. Convulsive SE is the main type of SE in children. The age of first onset, duration of epilepsy, history of mental retardation, and EEG can affect the prognosis of SE.
