    Abstract Children and the elderly (≥60 years of age) have the highest incidence of status epilepticus (SE). Because of their general health, elderly individuals are much more likely than younger (<60 years of age) persons to have more severe consequences from seizures. The incidence of SE is 15.5/100 000 in the 60-69 age group, 21.5/100 000 in the 70-79 age group and 25.9/100 000 in persons 80 and older. The most common cause in the elderly is acute symptomatic, with stroke and hypoxia the most frequent. The overall mortality of SE is quite high and occurs early, often within the first few days, and is related to the cause, with mortality of more than 80% in persons with anoxia. Although the cause of SE is an important factor in mortality, the aging body and brain may contribute to an unfavorable outcome. Treatment in the elderly is essentially the same as in younger adults with benzodiazepines (lorazepam, diazepam, clonazepam) and longer acting antiseizure drugs (phenytoin, fosphenytoin, valproate, levetiracetam, and lacosamide. At this time there are no evidence-based studies regarding Axis 2 (etiology) and Axis 4 (age). All current interventions for SE involve antiseizure drugs that were developed for treatment of chronic epilepsy. Treatments should be developed that are more specific for the various etiologies and involve drugs that work on the underlying cause of the SE.

    Abstract Objective: The point prevalence of epilepsy is high in nursing homes (NH), but the incidence of epilepsy after admission is unknown. This study was done to determine the incidence of epilepsy/seizure (epi/sz) comorbid with other conditions in older adult NH residents.
    Design: Retrospective evaluation of Minimum Data Set records to identify new onset epi/sz in NH residents.
    Setting and participants: Five cross-sectional cohorts of all residents in any Medicare/Medicaid certified NH in the United States on July 15 of each year 2003-2007.
    Measures: Epi/sz was identified by International Classification of Diseases, Ninth Revision codes (345.xx or 780.39) or check box on the Minimum Data Set. Those with no such code on admission and with 1 to 3 plus years of follow-up (n = 3,609,422) were followed through 2007 or end of stay.
    Results: Overall incidence of epi/sz was 16.42/1000 patient years (PY). Incidence was highest in the first year after admission and declined thereafter. There were more women (n = 2,523,951) than men (n = 1,089,631), but men had a higher incidence (21.17/1000PY) compared with women (14.81/1000PY). Although the 65‒74 years of age cohort included fewer residents (n = 594,722) compared with the age 85 years + cohort (n = 1,520,167), the younger residents had the highest incidence (28.53/1000 PY) compared with the oldest, 10.22/1000 PY for the age 85+ years cohort. The highest incidences were among those with brain tumor (122.55/1000PY), followed by head injury (45.66/1000PY). Overall, 714,340 had a diagnosis of stroke, and incidence was 27.52/1000PY. Those with none of selected risk factors had an overall incidence of 12.45/1000PY.
    Conclusions and implications: The incidence of epi/sz in older individuals after admission to a NH is high. There is a need to develop practice approaches to best manage this large cohort. There does not appear to be a uniform approach to managing new onset epilepsy in NHs at this time. Studies to develop evidence for practice guidelines are needed.
