Target Audience and Goal Statement: Neurologists
The goal of this study was to assess a diagnostic test that stratifies epileptic seizures from psychogenic non-epileptic seizures (PNES) by developing a multimodal algorithm that integrates plasma concentrations of selected immune response-associated proteins and patient clinical risk factors for seizure.
Question Addressed:
Study Synopsis and Perspective:
Epilepsy affects over 70 million people worldwide. This common brain condition has multiple risk factors and a strong genetic predisposition.
