Article Synopsis
- Objective: The study evaluated the effectiveness of three prognostic scores (STESS, EMSE-EACE, and END-IT) in forecasting outcomes for patients experiencing status epilepticus (SE) in the neurology ICU, focusing on mortality and functional decline.
- Methods: Researchers reviewed data from neurology ICU patients with SE who required continuous EEG monitoring over ten years and applied the prognostic scores, analyzing their ability to predict outcomes using ROC analysis.
- Results: Out of 85 patients, 36.5% experienced inpatient mortality and 78.8% had functional decline, with STESS and EMSE-EACE demonstrating acceptable predictive value for mortality, while all three scores performed poorly in predicting functional outcomes at discharge.
