Prediction of Long-term Survival After Status Epilepticus Using the ACD Score.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

Early prediction of long-term mortality in status epilepticus is important given the high fatality rate in the years after diagnosis.

Objective

To improve prognostication of long-term mortality after status epilepticus diagnosis.

Design, settings, and participants

This retrospective, multicenter, multinational cohort study analyzed adult patients who were diagnosed with and treated for status epilepticus at university hospitals in Odense, Denmark, between January 1, 2008, and December 31, 2017, as well as in Oslo, Norway; Marburg, Germany; and Frankfurt, Germany. They were aged 18 years or older and had first-time, nonanoxic status epilepticus. A new scoring system, called the ACD score, for predicting 2-year (long-term) mortality after hospital discharge f
