Secondary Data Collection:To confirm the effectiveness and safety profiles under the actual medical practice of LORA-PITA in Japan.
Detailed description
To confirm the effectiveness and safety profiles under the actual medical practice of LORA-PITA for Status Epilepticus patients in Japan.
Interventions
The usual dose of lorazepam in adults is 4 mg administered intravenously. The drug should be given slowly with the administration rate at 2 mg/min as a guide. If necessary, 4 mg may be added but the dose should not exceed 8 mg as the sum of initial and additional doses. The usual dose of lorazepam in children aged 3 months or older is 0.05 mg/kg (up to 4 mg) administered intravenously. The drug should be given slowly with the administration rate at 2 mg/min as a guide. If necessary, 0.05 mg/kg may be added but the dose should not exceed 0.1 mg/kg as the sum of initial and additional doses.

Design outcomes
Primary
| Measure | Time frame | Description |
|---|---|---|
| Number of the Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions | From the first dose of LORAPITA to 24 hours after the end of the last dose, up to approximately 2 days. | An adverse drug reaction (ADR) was a treatment-related adverse event, and any untoward medical occurrence attributed to LORA-PITA in a participant who received LORA-PITA. A serious adverse drug reaction (SADR) was a treatment-related adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. Relatedness to LORA-PITA was assessed by the physician. |

Definition of responders to the first or second administration of LORA-PITA: A responder was defined as a participant whose seizure resolved within 10 minutes after the first administration of LORA-PITA or the second administration (10 to 30 minutes after the first administration) and who did not require additional treatment with other drugs for the target disease within 30 minutes after the end of administration (excluding prophylactic administration) and had no recurrent seizure. |

| LORA-PITA Intravenous Injection 2mg (Lorazepam) This study was conducted by fixed-point all participants surveillance system in participants who received LORA-PITA as indicated in the approved local product document. The observation period was from the first dose received to 24 hours after the last dose received. A follow-up period was 24 hours after the end of the last dose, and if the follow-up period was less than 24 hours, such participants were deemed as withdrawals.
The pediatric (\< 16 years) and adult (≥ 16 years) participants' initial doses were 0.25 to 4.00 mg (0.025 to 0.098 mg/kg) and 1.50 to 4.00 mg, respectively. The pediatric and adult participants' second doses were 0.40 to 2.00 mg (0.024 to 0.050 mg/kg) and 2.00 to 4.00 mg, respectively. The pediatric and adult participants' third doses were 0.80 mg (0.024 mg/kg) and 2.00 to 4.00 mg, respectively. | 112 |

Outcome results
Number of the Participants With Adverse Drug Reactions
An adverse drug reaction (ADR) was a treatment-related adverse event, and any untoward medical occurrence attributed to LORA-PITA in a participant who received LORA-PITA. A serious adverse drug reaction (SADR) was a treatment-related adverse event resulting in any of the following outcomes or deemed significant for any other reason: death; life-threatening; initial or prolonged inpatient hospitalization; persistent or significant disability/incapacity; congenital anomaly/birth defect. Relatedness to LORA-PITA was assessed by the physician.
Time frame: From the first dose of LORAPITA to 24 hours after the end of the last dose, up to approximately 2 days.
Population: The safety analysis set comprised of participants who satisfied the inclusion criteria and had received LORA-PITA at least once. Participants without informed consent for notification/publication of study results were excluded.
