Therapeutic effect of intravenous levetiracetam in status epilepticus: A meta-analysis and systematic review

Our results suggested that IV LEV was comparable to IV PHT,VPA, or LOR in efficacy, and IV LEV as add-on therapy of CNP had no superiority in seizure cessation than CNP plus placebo. IV LEV may have a better tolerability than other AEDs do. More RCTs are needed to validate the role of IV LEV in status epilepticus.
