Determination of prognosis in patients with status epilepticus (SE)—a life-threatening state of ongoing or repetitive seizures—is difficult, and current outcome prediction scales do not take into account novel outcome markers, such as EEG and imaging findings. Here, Sutter et al. review the available data on major prognostic determinants of outcome in SE, and propose a novel paradigm for assessment of these predictive factors over the course of the seizure.
