Brief description/objective

Although hemispheric surgeries are among the most effective procedures for drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE) in the pediatric population, a large variability in outcomes remains. Identifying ideal hemispherectomy candidates is imperative to maximize the potential for seizure freedom. The objective was to develop an online, freely-accesible tool that accurately predicts the probability of seizure freedom for any patient at 1-, 2-, and 5-years post-hemispherectomy to provide clinicians accessible and reliable prognostic information to complement clinical judgement.
