[Correspondence] The SeLECT score is useful to predict post-stroke epilepsy

We read with interest Josef Finsterer's Comment1 on our Article2 on the SeLECT score as a prognostic model for prediction of late seizures after ischaemic stroke. He does not take into account three major points about prognostic modelling3 and the differences from aetiological research.4 First, for a prognostic model to be clinically useful, the entry data have to be routinely and widely available and easily applicable in the clinical setting. Second, for a model to be relevant, it must provide outcome information satisfying the needs of the user at, or soon after, the event.
