Parental experience and decision-making for epilepsy surgery: A systematic review of qualitative and quantitative studies.
TL;DR: In this paper, a qualitative content analysis was performed to characterize caregiver experience, perception, and decision-making toward favorable or unfavorable opinions of epilepsy surgery, with no single factor identified as the primary driver for or against surgery.
Journal ArticleDOI
Healthcare professionals' knowledge, attitude, and perception of epilepsy surgery: A systematic review.
TL;DR: In this article, a systematic review was conducted according to the Preferred Reporting Items for the Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines, which identified a total of 652 articles from multiple databases using database-specific queries and included 65 articles for full-text review after screening the titles and abstracts of the articles.

Implementation Science to Improve Quality of Neurological Care.
Debopam Samanta,Sara J. Landes +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a new scientific study of methods has been developed: implementation science, which assess local barriers to facilitate the adoption of evidence-based practices and examine potential solutions using implementation strategies (interventions that help adoption of intended practices) targeting multiple levels in the health care system.

Conceptualization and implementation of an interdisciplinary clinic for children with drug-resistant epilepsy during the COVID-19 pandemic.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the rapid conceptualization and implementation of an interdisciplinary epilepsy clinic for children with drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) at Arkansas Children's Hospital (ACH) during the COVID 19 pandemic.

Factors associated with patients not proceeding with proposed resective epilepsy surgery
TL;DR: In this article, the authors evaluated the association between eligible patients not proceeding with resective epilepsy surgery and various demographic, disease-specific, and epilepsy-evaluation variables and found that employed patients were 4.2 times more likely to not proceed with surgery compared to unemployed patients.

Long-term outcomes from the PEARLS randomized trial for the treatment of depression in patients with epilepsy.
Naomi Chaytor,Paul Ciechanowski,John W. Miller,Robert T. Fraser,Joan Russo,Jürgen Unützer,Frank Gilliam +6 more
TL;DR: The PEARLS program significantly reduces depressive symptoms in adults with epilepsy, and this effect is maintained for 18 months after baseline and for more than 1 year after completion of home visits.

Cortical feature analysis and machine learning improves detection of "MRI-negative" focal cortical dysplasia.
Bilal Ahmed,Carla E. Brodley,Karen Blackmon,Ruben Kuzniecky,Gilad Barash,Chad Carlson,Brian T. Quinn,Werner Doyle,Jacqueline A. French,Orrin Devinsky,Thomas Thesen,Thomas Thesen +11 more
TL;DR: Testing whether a novel MRI postprocessing method successfully detects histopathologically verified FCD in a sample of patients without visually appreciable lesions demonstrates that MRI-negative images contain sufficient information to aid in the in vivo detection of visually elusive FCD lesions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Pediatric epilepsy surgery.
TL;DR: The use of implantable arrays of epidural electrodes has made it possible to carry out extraoperative electrocorticography (ECoG) and functional localization in the awake child and distinguishes those pathologic entities in which the seizure disorder is apt to respond to surgical intervention from those that will not.

Disparities in surgery among patients with intractable epilepsy in a universal health system
TL;DR: In the setting of publicly funded universal health care, more than 10% of patients died within 2 years of developing medically intractable epilepsy, suggesting Epilepsy surgery may be an effective treatment for some patients; however, fewer of patients who may have benefited from epilepsy surgery received it.
