Scale for predicting the outcomes of patients with epilepsy
Objective: This study aimed to identify the factors relevant for developing a scale to estimate the prognosis of patients with epilepsy. Methods: This study followed 141 patients with newly or previously diagnosed epilepsy for between four and nine years. The patients were divided into three groups on the basis of their outcomes during the follow-up period: patients that were seizure-free without anti-epileptic drugs (AEDs) (group A, n = 48), patients with pharmacoresponsive epilepsy (group B, n = 52), and patients with pharmacoresistant epilepsy (group C, n = 41). The predictors of the progn...
