Impact of Etiology on Mortality and Recovery in Patients With Status Epilepticus
Etiology was associated with neurologic recovery but not with short-term mortality after adjustment for confounders and WLST. By contrast, NCSE with coma showed the strongest association with adverse outcomes. This suggests that while etiology informs prognosis for recovery, SE type, particularly NCSE with coma, is the more critical determinant of survival.
