Reasons for Prolonged Length of Stay in the Epilepsy Monitoring Unit

Highlights • Prolonged length of stay (LOS) >7 days occurred in 38.8% of our EMU admissions. • LOS was significantly longer for patients with epileptic versus non-epileptic seizures. • LOS was longer for patients with more prolonged durations of epilepsy/spells. • A third of prolonged admissions...

description Highlights • Prolonged length of stay (LOS) >7 days occurred in 38.8% of our EMU admissions. • LOS was significantly longer for patients with epileptic versus non-epileptic seizures. • LOS was longer for patients with more prolonged durations of epilepsy/spells. • A third of prolonged admissions were secondary to prolonged time to first seizure. • Other reasons included seizure clusters (6.9%) and status epilepticus (1.6%)
