TLDR
The etiology, clinical features and outcome of generalized major motor status epilepticus in 98 patients over the age of 14 years have been reviewed and it was found that a poor outcome of the status was more likely as its duration increased, and the morbidity rate was 12.5 percent among patients.About:

TL;DR: Recommendations were developed based on the literature using standardized assessment methods from the American Heart Association and Grading of Recommendations Assessment, Development, and Evaluation systems, as well as expert opinion when sufficient data were lacking.

TL;DR: Evaluation of the seizure types for adult and pediatric patients demonstrated that both partial and generalized status epilepticus occur with a high frequency in these populations.
Journal ArticleDOI
It's Time to Revise the Definition of Status Epilepticus
TL;DR: A revised system for defining status epilepticus is proposed that aims to clarify the situation in which a seizure persists for a sufficient length of time or is repeated frequently enough to produce a fixed and enduring epileptic condition.

Determinants of Mortality in Status Epilepticus
TL;DR: These findings represent the first multivariate analysis of predictive indicators of mortality in SE and demonstrate that specific factors influence mortality rate in SE.

Refractory Status Epilepticus: Frequency, Risk Factors, and Impact on Outcome
Stephan A. Mayer,Jan Claassen,Johnny Lokin,Felicia A. Mendelsohn,Lyle J. Dennis,Brian-Fred Fitzsimmons +5 more
TL;DR: Refractory status epilepticus occurs in approximately 30% of patients with SE and is associated with increased hospital length of stay and functional disability, and nonconvulsive SE and focal motor seizures at onset are risk factors for RSE.

TL;DR: Brain damage apparently originated during the second phase of the seizure when hyperpyrexia, mild arterial hypotension, mild systemic hypoxia, and acidosis were characteristically, and severe hypoglycemia occasionally, seen.

TL;DR: The prognosis of children's status epilepticus is grave, mental or neurological residua or both being present in at least 57% of patients, and approximately one half of these children had had normal development prior to their bout of convulsions.

TL;DR: In adolescent baboons the intravenous injection of bicuculline induced generalized seizures lasting up to five hours, which sometimes led to brain damage or death, and a behavioral and electroencephalographic recovery could occur within three hours of generalized seizure activity lasting one to two hours.
