Status Epilepticus Market
Key Highlights
- According to Wylie et al. (2022), the incidence of status epilepticus has a bimodal age distribution with peaks during infancy and in the elderly. The incidence rate ranges between approximately 7 to 40 cases per 100,000 persons per year. Status epilepticus seems to be more common in males. A significant proportion of both children, approximately 16 to 38%, and adults, approximately 42 to 50% with status epilepticus, have a history of epilepsy. The short-term mortality (within 30 days) of status epilepticus ranges from 7.6 to 22% across all age groups and is highest among the elderly.
- Status Epilepticus epidemiology is segmented as Total Incident Cases of Status Epilepticus, Type-specific Incident Cases of Status Epilepticus, Age-specific Incident Cases of Status Epilepticus, Total Incident Cases of Established Status Epilepticus, Refractory Status Epilepticus and Super Refractory Status Epilepticus, and Treated Cases of Status Epilepticus in the Status Epilepticus market report.

Status Epilepticus Market: Understanding and Treatment Algorithm
The DelveInsight’s Status Epilepticus market report gives a thorough understanding of the Status Epilepticus by including details such as disease definition, symptoms, causes, pathophysiology, diagnosis, and treatment.
Status epilepticus is a common, life-threatening neurologic disorder. It is a neurological emergency requiring immediate evaluation and management to prevent significant morbidity or mortality as the condition may lead to permanent brain damage or death or permanent neuronal damage. It is defined by the Neurocritical Care Society (2012), as any seizure lasting more than five minutes or any continuous clinical and electrographic seizure activity, or recurrent seizure activity (more than one seizure within five minutes), without recovery in between episodes.
It may be convulsive, non-convulsive, focal motor, myoclonic, or refractory. Convulsive status epilepticus consists of generalized tonic-clonic movements and mental status impairment. Non-convulsive status epilepticus is defined as seizure activity identified on an electroencephalogram with no accompanying tonic-clonic movements. Focal motor status epilepticus involves the refractory motor activity of a limb or a group of muscles on one side of the body and that with or without loss of consciousness is myoclonic status epilepticus. Refractory status epilepticus refers to continuing seizures (convulsive or non-convulsive) despite appropriate antiepileptic drugs.
Chronic processes that may result in status epilepticus include pre-existing epilepsy with breakthrough seizures or non-compliance with anti-epileptic drugs, ethanol withdrawal, CNS tumors, and remote CNS pathology. Acute processes account for most cases of status epilepticus in adults. Febrile status epilepticus is the most common cause in pediatric patients. Children and the elderly (≥60 years of age) have the highest incidence of status epilepticus. Elderly individuals are much more likely to have more severe consequences from seizures. The overall mortality of status epilepticus is quite high and occurs early, often within the first few days, and is related to the cause, with mortality of more than 80% in persons with anoxia.
In children, the main cause of status epilepticus is an infection with a fever or inborn errors of metabolism. While, in adults, the common causes include, stroke, imbalance of substances in the blood, such as low blood sugar and drinking too much alcohol, or having alcohol withdrawal after previous heavy alcohol use.
The common symptoms of status epilepticus include muscle spasms, falling, confusion, unusual noises, loss of bowel or bladder control, clenched teeth, irregular breathing, unusual behavior, difficulty speaking, and a daydreaming look.
Status Epilepticus Diagnosis
The diagnosis of convulsive status epilepticus is usually done clinically and it requires emergent neuroimaging and laboratory studies to identify a potential etiology. A head computed tomography (CT) scan is the most recommended and also the most easily available. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain is more sensitive for identifying malformations in pediatric patients but is difficult to obtain and may require sedation.
Laboratory studies include bedside blood glucose level, serum electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, and magnesium), BUN, creatinine, serum bicarbonate, a complete blood count, and a lumbar puncture with cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) evaluation. If any individual has a known seizure disorder, anti-epileptic drug levels are also determined. Urine toxicology screen and serum levels of specific toxins such as theophylline or lithium are recommended if there is suspicion of a toxic ingestion. Other studies may be considered based on the presentation like liver function tests, inborn errors of metabolism, and coagulation studies.
Non-convulsive status epilepticus requires all of the previously mentioned imaging and laboratory studies for the identification of an underlying etiology but also requires EEG monitoring for confirmatory diagnosis.
Status Epilepticus Treatment
Status epilepticus must be addressed quickly and in an organized manner, with simultaneous management of the airway, breathing, and circulation, while also administering antiepileptic drug treatment. The primary goal of management is to definitively abort seizure activity as rapidly as possible while supporting the patient’s cardiovascular and respiratory status.
Anti-seizure drugs to treat the problem include diazepam, lorazepam, phenytoin, fosphenytoin, phenobarbital, and valproate. The drug treatment algorithms for status epilepticus generally has three stages, starting with benzodiazepines: lorazepam, midazolam, or diazepam as first-line drugs, moving to levetiracetam, valproate or fos-phenytoin as second-line drugs, ending, if necessary, with anesthetics like propofol or midazolam. Thus benzodiazepines are the antiepileptic drug of choice for emergent control. Lorazepam is preferred because of its rapid onset of action.
Treatment in the elderly is essentially the same as in younger adults with benzodiazepines (lorazepam, diazepam, clonazepam) and longer-acting antiseizure drugs (phenytoin, fosphenytoin, valproate, levetiracetam, and lacosamide. In refractory status epilepticus, continuous infusion of an antiepileptic drug is recommended. Choices include an intravenous infusion of midazolam, pentobarbital, thiopental, or propofol.
In 2020, the US FDA approved SESQUIENT, a fosphenytoin sodium for injection from Sedor Pharmaceuticals for the treatment of status epilepticus in adults and children, specifically for benzodiazepine-refractory status epilepticus. This is the second drug approved with CEREBYX being the first one. Recently in 2022, the US FDA also approved a 10-mg midazolam autoinjector by Rafa Laboratories for the treatment of status epilepticus in adults.
