Epidemiology-Based Mortality Score is Associated with Long-Term Mortality after Status Epilepticus.

Background/objective: Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening condition with a high long-term mortality. The correct prediction of the individual patient's outcome is crucial for stratifying treatment. Status epilepticus severity score (STESS) and the epidemiology-based mortality score (EMSE) are well established for predicting in-hospital mortality; however, scores indicating long-term mortality are lacking.

High long-term mortality after incident status epilepticus in adults: Results from a population-based study.

Objective: To determine annual incidence, etiology, severity, and short- and long-term mortality of first-time, nonanoxic status epilepticus (SE) in adults in a population-based retrospective cohort study.

Methods: We systematically identified all episodes of SE in the year 2014 on the island of Funen. Patients with SE due to anoxia, patients with recurrent SE, and patients <18 years old were excluded.

DC-EEG recordings of mindfulness.

Objective: To assess the frequency spectrum of the normal waking human eyes-closed EEG while concentrating on a mental task.

Methods: Ten adult normal volunteers listened to a CD encouraging mindfulness for one hour and five minutes while their EEG was recorded on a 128 channel DC based ANT system. The software package BESA Research version 6.

Magnetoencephalographic Infraslow Activity: A Feasibility Study.

Purpose: To explore if background infraslow activity (ISA) can be retrieved from archived magnetoencephalographic (MEG) recordings and its potential clinical relevance.

Methods: Archived recordings of 15 patients with epilepsy and 10 normal subjects were evaluated for MEG/EEG delta (0.5-3 Hz) and ISA (0.
