Model identifies opportunities to streamline pre-surgical evaluation in epilepsy

LOS ANGELES — Researchers used data-driven modeling techniques to identify variables that significantly impact pre-surgical consultations for patients with epilepsy, which could lead to more streamlined service by health care providers.
“We were trying to identify contributors to epilepsy pre-surgical evaluations that make the duration of the evaluation long,” M. Scott Perry, MD, medical director of the genetic epilepsy clinic at Cook Children’s Hospital Fort Worth, told Healio at the American Epilepsy Society annual meeting. “We found that certain things like
