ABSTRACT
Background: Hematologic parameter had been considered as simple prognostic markers for status epilepticus. Hematologic profile might be related to outcomes. This research was aimed to address status epilepticus cases in Sanglah General Hospital and to analyze the relationship between hematologic profiles and the outcomes of status epilepticus patient.
Method: This research used cross sectional design. We resumed status epilepticus cases in Sanglah General Hospital, Bali, Indonesia, from 2019 to 2020. With consecutive sampling, we obtained data from medical records. Statistic tests were done with software.
Results: One hundred and eight patients with status epilepticus, 58 males and 50 females aged 18 to 95 years old were involved. Fifty-five had focal and 53 general seizures. Fifty-one (47.2%) survived and 57 (52.8%) did not. Intensive care was given to 34 (31.5%) patients. Factors that had relationship with outcome were comorbidity (p<0.01), renal failure (p=0.05), pneumonia (p<0.01), sepsis (P<0.01), intensive care (p=0.01), length of stay (p<0.01), and platelet count (p<0.01). Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio did not have relationship with the outcome (p=3.22). In additional analysis with numeric variable, there were suggestions that Neutrophil to Lymphocyte Ratio and Hemoglobin might have weak correlation with length of stay (p<0.05).
Conclusion: Future studies with better designs should be conducted to really address the real relationship between hematologic profile and outcome in status epilepticus patients.
Keywords: hematologic profile, status epilepticus, outcome.
