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.

Predictive value of the Status Epilepticus Severity Score (STESS) and its components for long-term survival.

Background: The "Status Epilepticus Severity Score" (STESS) is the most important clinical score to predict in-hospital mortality of patients with status epilepticus (SE), but its prognostic relevance for long-term survival is unknown. This study therefore examined if STESS and its components retain their prognostic relevance beyond acute treatment.

Methods: One hundred twenty-five non-anoxic patients with SE were retrospectively identified in two hospitals between 2008 and 2014 (39.
