Investigating Associations Between Nonadherence to Guideline-Recommended Treatment of Pediatric Seizures and Adverse Outcomes: A Canadian Feasibility Study

Emerging evidence suggests that nonadherence to treatment guidelines for seizures may affect patient outcomes. We examined the feasibility of conducting a larger investigation to test this hypothesis in the pediatric population. We retrospectively reviewed charts of patients aged ≤18 years who prese...

Description
Summary:Emerging evidence suggests that nonadherence to treatment guidelines for seizures may affect patient outcomes. We examined the feasibility of conducting a larger investigation to test this hypothesis in the pediatric population. We retrospectively reviewed charts of patients aged ≤18 years who presented with seizure to the emergency departments of two Ontario hospitals in 2019 to 2021. Patients were grouped by seizure duration (
