Frequency and Prognosis of Convulsive Status Epilepticus of Different Causes: A Systematic Review
Arch Neurol 67:931-940, Neligan,A., et al, 2010
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A relatively good prognosis of SE is found when the underlying cause is associated with low antiepileptic drug levels or alcohol abuse, and relatively poor outcome occurs when the underlying cause is cerebrovascular disease, particularly in the case of SE due to acute cerebral anoxia, but in most conditions, the reported prognosis is variable. Also, when SE occurs in the context of an acute cerebral insult, such as cerebral infection or cerebrovascular disease, the prognosis of the acute cerebral event is worsened.
