    Highlights • Population-based incidence for RSE 3.0/100 000 and SRSE 0.6/100 000. • 48% recovered to baseline, 29% showed functional deficit, and 23% died at 1 year. • 21% of RSE patients developed SRSE. • Older age and progressive/fatal etiologies predict poorer outcome. • Anesthesia should be used only in RSE cases with reasonable long-term prognosis
