Status Epilepticus Australasian Registry for Children
- Indicative Funding
- $69,992 over 2 years
- Summary
- Study design- A prospective observational cohort study of children 4 weeks to 16 years of age, who have CSE managed at a PREDICT emergency department. Objectives - To describe characteristics of a cohort of children in Australia and New Zealand in terms of incidence, aetiology and outcome. To explore pre-hospital and emergency department care variability in management and associations between predictor variables and outcomes.

Tranexamic acid for the treatment of gastrointestinal bleeding: an international randomised, double blind placebo controlled trial
- Indicative Funding
- $185,788 over 2 years
- Summary
- Gastrointestinal (GI) bleeding is a common emergency with a substantial mortality rate. Bleeding from the upper gastrointestinal system is caused by ulcers, stomach inflammation and oesophageal varices and carries a fatality rate of up to 10%. Lower GI bleeding has a variety of causes and a case fatality of about 15%. Between 10% and 25% of patients will have a repeat bleed after their first episode, and these people are four times more likely to die than people without repeated bleeding.

ConSEPT: Convulsive Status Epilepticus Paediatric Trial
- Indicative Funding
- $147,820 over 4 years
- Summary
- Convulsive Status Epilepticus (CSE) is a true medical emergency and we are trying to find out what is the best drug to use in this situation. We know that if attempts are not made to stop the seizure a child would be at risk of having severe brain damage or dying. First line drugs are used on 2 occasions to try to stop the seizure; if these are unsuccessful second line drugs (Phenytoin or Levetiracetam) are given. Phenytoin is usually what is given in this situation, but has some worrying side effects and it has to be given slowly over 20 minutes. Doctors think Levetiracetam may be better because it has less side effects, can be given faster over 5 minutes, and may give better results. We want to compare the two drugs. This study will be a world first and have a profound impact on the management of CSE in children in New Zealand, Australia and worldwide, in tier confirming the current second line medication used or recommending a new second line medication.
