Here you’ll find a collection of videos, podcasts, and research papers exploring New Onset Refractory Status Epilepticus (NORSE) and its sub-type, Febrile Infection-Related Epilepsy Syndrome (FIRES).
Clinical presentation of new onset refractory status epilepticus in children (the pSERG cohort)
We aimed to characterize the clinical profile and outcomes of new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) in children, and investigated the relationship between fever onset and status epilepticus (SE).
Long-term neuropsychological outcomes in children with febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES) treated with anakinra
This is a retrospective multi-center case series of pediatric patients with a diagnosis of FIRES treated acutely with anakinra who had neuropsychological testing at least 12 months after status epilepticus onset.
Seizure burden and neuropsychological outcomes of new-onset refractory status epilepticus: Systematic review
Long-term sequelae of the new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE) include the development of epilepsy, cognitive deficits, and behavioral disturbances.
New onset refractory status epilepticus: Long‐term outcomes beyond seizures
We propose and prioritize important outcome domains that should be considered for future research investigating long‐term outcomes (LTO) after new onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE).
Age‐associated differences in FIRES: Characterizing prodromal presentation and long‐term outcomes via the web‐based NORSE/FIRES Family Registry
This study analyzes data from the NORSE/FIRES Family Registry, an international web‐based registry available in six languages with data entered by patients, families, and clinicians to explore clinical presentations, survivorship, and long‐term outcomes in adult and pediatric FIRES patients.
Standard complete blood count to predict long-term outcomes in febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES): A multicenter study
We investigated whether complete blood count (CBC) analyses during intensive care unit stay could predict 12-month outcomes in patients with cryptogenic febrile infection-related epilepsy syndrome (FIRES), a subset of new-onset refractory status epilepticus (NORSE).
The spectrum of cognitive outcomes following admission to hospital for refractory status epilepticus (RSE): A scoping review
The objective of this scoping review is to report the spectrum of outcomes following admission to hospital for RSE from all etiologies and to determine whether there is evidence to suggest that survivors of new-onset RSE (NORSE) have different cognitive outcomes compared to survivors of RSE of identified etiology.
