A definition and classification of status epilepticus – Report of the <scp>ILAE</scp> Task Force on Classification of Status Epilepticus

Short summary

The ILAE Task Force proposes a new conceptual definition of status epilepticus (SE) as a condition arising from failed seizure termination or initiated mechanisms causing prolonged seizures, with potential long-term consequences. For convulsive SE, operational time points are set at 5 minutes (t1) for continuous seizure activity and 30 minutes (t2) for risk of long-term consequences, based on current evidence.
