Predictive performances of STESS and EMSE in a Norwegian adult status epilepticus cohort

Predictive performances of STESS and EMSE in a Norwegian adult status epilepticus cohort, Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency that can sometimes be difficult to treat. Refractory or even superrefractory SE have approximately 3 times higher mortality than the non-refractory forms [1]. Unfortunately, no accurate method of predicting response to treatment and outcome exists., Status epilepticus (SE) is a neurological emergency that can sometimes be difficult to treat. Refractory or even superrefractory SE have approximately 3 times higher mortality than the non-refractory forms [1]. Unfortunately, no accurate method of predicting response to treatment and outcome exists. However, over the last years two clinical scoring systems have emerged, designed to predict mortality of SE episodes. Status Epilepticus Severity Scale (STESS) was developed in 2006 by Rossetti et al., admin,
