We found a lower SE control rate than existing literature, whose data are, however, often retrospective, potentially selecting patients with less severe SE forms or responding to KET. This might explain outcome differences, as KET administration modalities were comparable with our cohort. Since randomized controlled studies are lacking on this subject, the analysis of this prospective, unselected cohort, if confirmed, suggests a current overestimation of KET efficacy in SRSE.
