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.

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.

Temporal trends in pre-surgical evaluations and epilepsy surgery in the U.S. from 1998 to 2009.
TL;DR: Despite the increase in VEEG monitoring, the availability of guideline and evidences demonstrating benefits of epilepsy surgery was not associated with a greater employment of surgery over time, and access to pre-surgical evaluations and epilepsy surgery is no longer limited to large medical centers.

Referral to evaluation for epilepsy surgery: Reluctance by epileptologists and patients.
TL;DR: Despite the obvious advantages of resective surgery in patients with drug‐resistant focal epilepsy, namely high probability of seizure freedom, decreased mortality, and increased quality of life, referral rates from physicians and approval rates by patients for presurgical assessment remain constantly low.
