    Summary
    Status epilepticus (SE) is a life-threatening state of persisting or repetitive seizure activity with often permanent altered level of consciousness. Despite its high morbidity and mortality there is no consensus about the best strategy to treat specific forms of SE. The compromise between the danger related to untreated and persistent seizure activity and the possible damage induced by unnecessary aggressive treatments is challenging. Knowledge about the determinants and reliable prediction models of outcome early in the course of SE is fundamental for rapid treatment modulation and for planning the level of monitoring. This review compiles the current evidence for outcome prediction based on clinical determinants in adult SE patients
