Functional - Optimizing Epilepsy Surgery Candidacy: A NNT Analysis

In this episode, we delve into the nuances of selecting optimal candidates for epilepsy surgery. We analyze the study "Does having bad epilepsy make you a good surgical candidate? A number needed to treat analysis," published in Epilepsia Open in 2026. This full-text analysis examines a retrospective cohort to determine if a higher baseline seizure frequency correlates with improved surgical outcomes, assessed through the Number Needed to Treat (NNT) metric. Understanding these predictive factors is crucial for refining patient selection and maximizing the success rates of epilepsy surgery.
