END-IT Score (Status Epilepticus Outcome)

END-IT score (Gao 2016): encephalitis, nonconvulsive status epilepticus, diazepam resistance, imaging findings, and intubation give a 0–6 score where ≥ 3 predicts an unfavorable outcome in autoimmune-encephalitis status epilepticus.

Example

Encephalitis
Yes
Nonconvulsive status epilepticus
Yes
Diazepam resistance
No
Imaging
Unilateral lesions (+1)
Intubation
No

Result: END-IT score 3 — unfavorable outcome likely (>= 3).

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

< 3
Favorable functional outcome more likely.
>= 3
Unfavorable outcome likely. Encephalitis, NCSE, diazepam resistance, imaging, intubation. A prognostic score, not a treatment order.

What you enter

  • Encephalitis (+1)
  • Nonconvulsive status epilepticus (+1)
  • Diazepam resistance (+1)
  • Imaging (normal / unilateral / bilateral)
  • Intubation (+1)
