Seizures influence sleep macrostructure and the sleep-wake circadian rhythm in Dravet syndrome.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: Dravet syndrome (DS) is a developmental and epileptic encephalopathy with a wide spectrum of comorbidities comprising sleep disorders, reported in up to 85% of cases. For this, a sleep study is recommended in patients with a sleep complain...

Supervised machine learning compared to large language models for identifying functional seizures from medical records.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: The Functional Seizures Likelihood Score (FSLS) is a supervised machine learning-based diagnostic score that was developed to differentiate functional seizures (FS) from epileptic seizures (ES). In contrast to this targeted approach, large...

Detection of focal cortical dysplasia: Development and multicentric evaluation of artificial intelligence models.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: Focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) is a common cause of drug-resistant focal epilepsy but can be challenging to detect visually on magnetic resonance imaging. Three artificial intelligence models for automated FCD detection are publicly availa...

Expert level of detection of interictal discharges with a deep neural network.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: Deep learning methods have shown potential in automating the detection of interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs) in electroencephalography (EEG). We compared IED detection using our previously trained deep neural network with a group of...

Machine learning for forecasting initial seizure onset in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to develop a machine learning (ML) model to forecast initial seizure onset in neonatal hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) utilizing clinical and quantitative electroencephalogram (QEEG) features.

A deep-learning-based histopathology classifier for focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) unravels a complex scenario of comorbid FCD subtypes.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: Recently, we developed a first artificial intelligence (AI)-based digital pathology classifier for focal cortical dysplasia (FCD) as defined by the ILAE classification. Herein, we tested the usefulness of the classifier in a retrospective ...

Nonictal electroencephalographic measures for the diagnosis of functional seizures.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: Functional seizures (FS) look like epileptic seizures but are characterized by a lack of epileptic activity in the brain. Approximately one in five referrals to epilepsy clinics are diagnosed with this condition. FS are diagnosed by record...

Generalizability of electroencephalographic interpretation using artificial intelligence: An external validation study.

Epilepsia
OBJECTIVE: The automated interpretation of clinical electroencephalograms (EEGs) using artificial intelligence (AI) holds the potential to bridge the treatment gap in resource-limited settings and reduce the workload at specialized centers. However, ...

Automated detection of tonic seizures using wearable movement sensor and artificial neural network.

Epilepsia
Although several validated wearable devices are available for detection of generalized tonic-clonic seizures, automated detection of tonic seizures is still a challenge. In this phase 1 study, we report development and validation of an artificial neu...

Potential merits and flaws of large language models in epilepsy care: A critical review.

Epilepsia
The current pace of development and applications of large language models (LLMs) is unprecedented and will impact future medical care significantly. In this critical review, we provide the background to better understand these novel artificial intell...
