Background. Status Epilepticus (SE) is one of the most common neurological emergency in children and associated with substantial morbidity and mortality. The aim of this study was to analyze the outcomes and length of stay (LOS) of SE in children. Method. A cohort retrospective study was conducted at RSUP Dr. Wahidin Sudirohusodo from January – December 2017 using medical records. Children were categorised into two groups: SE and non SE seizure as the control group. Results. A total of 84 children; 44 with SE and 40 with non SE. Mortality and neurological sequelae was only found in SE group (38,6% and 25.9%). The mean LOS for survivor of SE with neurological sequelae and survivor of SE without neurological sequelae were 8.71 days and 11. 65 days, respectively. Statistical analysis showed no significant differences with p=0,25 (p>0,05). Conclusion. SE showed higher mortality and neurological sequelae compared to non SE Seizure.
