SeLECT Score (Late Post-Stroke Epilepsy)
SeLECT score for late post-stroke epilepsy (Galovic 2018): stroke severity plus large-artery atherosclerosis, early seizure, cortical involvement, and MCA territory sum to 0–9, mapping to 1-year and 5-year late-seizure risk.

Example
- Stroke severity
- 4–10 (1 point)
- Early seizure ≤ 7 days
- Yes
- Cortical involvement
- Yes
Result: SeLECT 6 — cumulative late-seizure risk 18% at 1 year, 29% at 5 years.
The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.
What the result means
- Risk
- 1-year / 5-year late-seizure risk rises from 0.7% / 1% at 0 to 63% / 83% at 9.
What you enter
- Stroke severity (NIHSS band)
- Large-artery atherosclerotic etiology (+1)
- Early seizure ≤ 7 days (+3)
- Cortical involvement (+2)
- MCA territory (+1)
How this is calculated
- Factors
- Severity NIHSS (0–3 → 0, 4–10 → 1, ≥ 11 → 2), large-artery atherosclerosis (1), early seizure ≤ 7 d (3), cortical (2), MCA territory (1).
