Treatment Delay and the Risk of Prolonged Status Epilepticus
Neurol 65:1316-1318, Eriksson,K.,et al, 2005
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Factors contributing to the duration of a single convulsive seizure >5 minutes were analyzed in 157 children. The medically treated episodes were compared with seizure episodes resolving without treatment (n = 27). Major differences were in age (p = 0.016) and etiology (p = 0.003), and the association between treatment delay and response became significant after 30 minutes when this was analyzed as a single variable (p = 0.003) in Cox regression analysis.
