Prior studies show hospital admission volume to be associated with poor outcomes following elective procedures and inpatient medical hospitalizations. However, it is unknown whether hospital volume impacts Inpatient outcomes for status epilepticus (SE) hospitalizations. In this study, we aimed to assess the impact of hospital volume on the outcome of patients with SE and related inpatient medical complications. ⋯ Our study demonstrates certain associations between hospital volume and outcomes for SE hospitalizations. Further studies using more granular data about the type, severity, and duration of SE and types of treatment are warranted to better understand how hospital volume may impact care and prognosis of patients.
