Predicting pediatric epilepsy surgery outcomes via a multidisciplinary epilepsy surgery conference survey.

The sample comprised 20 patients from CHCO (12/2021 - 12/2022) and 10 patients from CHD (6/2022-12/2023) satisfying inclusion criteria of at least 9 months of follow-up and survey completion by ≥ 50% of the epilepsy surgery conferences panels.

Epilepsy surgery conferences physicians accurately predicted lack of seizure freedom for 75% (n = 3/4) of children for whom they assigned lower predictive probabilities for seizure freedom.

However, for the intermediate probabilities of 50-69%, 27% (n = 3/11) of children achieved seizure freedom.
