Brief description/objective

Periodic social events may influence the incidence and course of status epilepticus (SE), likely explained by patients' behavioral changes regarding alcohol intake, sleep, and compliance with antiseizure medication. However, data regarding the association between such events and SE are lacking. The aim of this study was to identify and quantify associations between periodic social events and the incidence, etiology, and outcome of SE.
