Next, we examined differences in sleep macrostructure and microstructure and questionnaire outcomes between children with well‐controlled epilepsy (WCE) and children with DRE. Furthermore, we wanted to identify factors associated with poor sleep outcome in these children, as some factors might be targets to improve epilepsy and neurodevelopmental outcomes.MethodsA cross‐sectional study was conducted in children 4 to 18‐years‐old. Children without epilepsy, with WCE, and with DRE were included. Overnight electroencephalography (EEG), including chin electromyography and electrooculography, to allow sleep staging, was performed. Parents were asked to fill out a sleep questionnaire. Classical five‐stage sleep scoring was performed manually, spindles were automatically counted, and slow wave activity (SWA) in the first and last hour of slow wave sleep was calculated.ResultsOne hundred eighty‐two patients were included: 48 without epilepsy, 75 with WCE, and 59 with DRE. We found that children with DRE have significantly lower sleep efficiency (SE%), less time spent in rapid eye movement (REM) sleep, fewer sleep spindles, and a lower SWA decline over the night compared to children with WCE. Subjectively more severe sleep problems were reported by the caregivers and more daytime sleepiness was present in children with DRE. Least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) regression showed that multifocal interictal epileptiform discharges (IEDs), benzodiazepine treatment, and longer duration of epilepsy were associated with lower SE% and lower REM sleep time. The presence of multifocal discharges and cerebral palsy was associated with fewer spindles. Benzodiazepine treatment, drug resistance, seizures during sleep, intellectual disability, and older age were associated with lower SWA decline.SignificanceBoth sleep macrostructure and microstructure are severely impacted in children with DRE, including those with DEEs.

Approximately one in five referrals to epilepsy clinics are diagnosed with this condition. FS are diagnosed by recording a seizure using video‐electroencephalography (EEG), from which an expert inspects the semiology and the EEG. However, this method can be expensive and inaccessible and can present significant patient burden. No single biomarker has been found to diagnose FS. However, the current limitations in FS diagnosis could be improved with machine learning to classify signal features extracted from EEG, thus providing a potentially very useful aid to clinicians.MethodsThe current study has investigated the use of seizure‐free EEG signals with machine learning to identify subjects with FS from those with epilepsy. The dataset included interictal and preictal EEG recordings from 48 subjects with FS (mean age = 34.76 ± 10.55 years, 14 males) and 29 subjects with epilepsy (mean age = 38.95 ± 13.93 years, 18 males) from which various statistical, temporal, and spectral features from the five EEG frequency bands were extracted then analyzed with threshold accuracy, five machine learning classifiers, and two feature importance approaches.ResultsThe highest classification accuracy reported from thresholding was 60.67%. However, the temporal features were the best performing, with the highest balanced accuracy reported by the machine learning models: 95.71% with all frequency bands combined and a support vector machine classifier.SignificanceMachine learning was much more effective than using individual features and could be a powerful aid in FS diagnosis. Furthermore, combining the frequency bands improved the accuracy of the classifiers in most cases, and the lowest performing EEG bands were consistently delta and gamma.","PeriodicalId":11768,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177544","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Seizures and epilepsy are common poststroke complications and have a strong connection to subsequent dementia. This study examines the relationship between poststroke seizures (PSS) or poststroke epilepsy (PSE) and dementia using a national health care database.MethodsWe conducted a retrospective study using data from the Taiwan National Health Insurance Research Database from 2009 to 2020. We identified acute stroke patients from 2010 to 2015, excluding those with pre‐existing neurological conditions. Based on age, sex, stroke severity level, and the year of index stroke, patients with PSS or PSE were matched to those without. The main outcome was incident dementia.ResultsThis study included 62 968 patients with an average age of 63 years, with males accounting for 62.9%. Of them, 60.3% had ischemic strokes, and 39.7% had hemorrhagic strokes. After an average follow‐up period of 5.2 years, dementia developed in 15.9% of patients who had PSS or PSE, as opposed to 8.4% of those without these conditions. A time‐dependent Fine and Gray competing risk analysis showed that PSS and PSE were significantly associated with dementia across all stroke types. Subgroup analyses revealed significantly increased risk of dementia across all age groups (&lt;50, 50–64, and ≥65 years), sexes, and various stroke severity levels. The link between PSS or PSE and dementia was particularly pronounced in men, with a less distinct correlation in women.SignificanceThe risk of incident dementia was higher in patients with PSS or PSE. The potential for therapeutic interventions for seizures and epilepsy to reduce poststroke dementia underscores the importance of seizure screening and treatment in stroke survivors.","PeriodicalId":11768,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177543","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The objective of this systematic review is to provide an appraisal of the literature on N‐of‐1 trials in individuals with epilepsy.MethodsWe searched PubMed and Embase on January 12, 2024, for studies meeting the following criteria: prospectively planned, within‐patient, multiple‐crossover design in individuals with epilepsy and outcomes related to comorbidities. Information on design, outcome measurements, intervention, and analyses was retrieved. Risk of bias assessment was performed using the Risk of Bias in N‐of‐1 Trials (RoBiNT) scale. We highlighted methodological aspects of the N‐of‐1 trials identified and discuss future recommendations.ResultsFive studies met our inclusion criteria. An additional multiple‐crossover trial that evaluated treatment effects exclusively at group level was also included because of its relevance to N‐of‐1 study methodology. The studies enrolled individuals with focal seizures, absences or cognitive impairement and electrographic discharges. Treatments included established or investigational antiseizure medications, off‐label medications, neurostimulation or lifestyle intervention. Three of the five N‐of‐1 trials reported on individual cases. The studies' strengths were the use of individualized treatment dosages and symptom‐specific patient‐reported outcomes. Limitations were related to minimal reporting of baseline characteristics and seizure burden.SignificanceThe trials identified by our search exemplify how the N‐of‐1 design can be applied to assess interventions in individuals with epilepsy‐related disorders. Future N‐of‐1 trials of antiseizure interventions should take into account baseline seizure frequency, should apply statistical models suited to capture seizure frequency changes reliably and make predefined interim assessments. Non‐seizure outcome measures evaluable over short periods should be considered. Tailored N‐of‐1 methodology could pave the way to evidence‐based, treatment selection for patients with rare epilepsies.","PeriodicalId":11768,"journal":{"name":"Epilepsia","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":5.6,"publicationDate":"2024-09-10","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142177542","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
