Observational study investigates the role of etiology in recovery outcomes in status epilepticus, suggesting type predicts survival.
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.
