Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frame
Seizure recurrence rate within 24 hours after perampanel administration following the cessation of status epilepticus

Secondary

MeasureTime frame
1.Rate of endotracheal intubation within 24 hours 2.Rate of third-line treatment implementation within 24 hours. (Third line treatment as per Epilepsy Treatment Guidelines 2018 General anesthesia using midazolam, propofol, or barbiturates) 3.Seizure recurrence rate within 7 days 4.Rate of endotracheal intubation within 7 days 5.Rate of third-line treatment implementation within 7 days 6.Median modified Rankin Scale (mRS) score on day 7 7.Transition rate from intravenous antiepileptic drugs to oral formulations of the same medication (FPHT IV to oral phenytoin, LEV IV to oral LEV, PER IV to oral PER) 8.Duration of perampanel intravenous administration 9.Total perampanel dose administered by day 7 10.Rate of EEG implementation within 24 hours 11.Rate of EEG abnormality detection within 24 hours 12.Rate of EEG implementation within 7 days 13.Rate of EEG abnormality detection within 7 days (EEG abnormalities include spikes, spike-and-wave complexes, sharp waves, periodic discharges, rhythmic delta activity, and other epileptiform abnormalities) 14.Serious adverse events (cardiac arrest, lethal arrhythmias such as ventricular fibrillation, respiratory arrest, hypotension, etc.) 15.New onset psychiatric symptoms (aggression, irritability, suicidal ideation, etc.)
