ABSTRACT

BACKGROUND:

The risk of developing epilepsy after de novo status epilepticus (SE) is nonnegligible. The individualized management of patients with high risk of subsequent epilepsy could improve long-term quality of life and cognitive impairment. We aimed to ascertain potential biomarkers of subsequent epilepsy and to construct a scoring system possessing predictive value for the diagnosis of post-SE epilepsy during follow-up.

METHODS:

The study data were obtained from a prospective registry of all SE episodes occurring in patients over 16 years attended in our tertiary center from February 2011 to April 2022. Clinical data, electroencephalography findings, treatment, and long-term clinical data were prospectively recorded. We selected SE patients at risk of developing epilepsy (acute symptomatic and cryptogenic etiologies with no previous history of epilepsy) and analyzed the risk of developing subsequent epilepsy.

RESULTS:

We included 230 patients. Median age was 65 years ± 16.9 SD and 112/230 (48.7 %) were women. One-hundred ninety-eight patients (86.1 %) had an acute symptomatic SE, whereas 32 patients (13.9 %) presented with a cryptogenic SE. A total of 55 patients (23.9 %) developed an unprovoked remote seizure and were diagnosed with epilepsy. After adjusting for identifiable confounders in a multivariable Cox regression analysis cryptogenic etiology (HR 2.24 [1.13-4.46], p = 0.022), first-line treatment initiation ≥1 h (HR 2.12 [1.03-4.36], p = 0.041], RDA/LPD/GPD EEG patterns (HR 1.88 [1.07-3.32], p = 0.028), and super-refractoriness (HR 2.90 [1.40-5.99], p = 0.004) emerged as independent predictors of post-SE epilepsy. Based on these findings, we constructed the AFTER score (1 point for each item) with a robust capability to predict post-SE epilepsy at 5 years (AUC 74.3 %, 95 %CI 64.3-84.3 %, p < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONS:

The AFTER score is a robust predictor of the development of epilepsy after new onset SE using clinical and electroencephalographic biomarkers (such as etiology, time to first-line treatment initiation, EEG pattern and super-refractoriness). Prospective studies are warranted to validate the score in other populations.
