Takeaway
Withdrawal of Antiseizure Medication (ASM) After Surgery model, using clinical predictors such as postoperative focal non-motor-aware seizures, can provide an estimated risk of seizure relapse in individuals starting ASM withdrawal after epilepsy surgery.
Why this matters
Postoperative ASM withdrawal has its associated benefits and risks. Currently there is a lack of prognostic tools to predict outcomes of ASM withdrawal following epilepsy surgery.
This prediction model could support informed decision-making for clinicians and patients alike.
