Long-term vagus nerve stimulation in childres with focal epilepsy

Original language description

Objectives The aim of the study was to evaluate the long-term efficacy and hospitalization rates in children with refractory focal epilepsy treated by vagus nerve stimulation. Materials and methods We retrospectively analyzed 15 children with intractablefocal epilepsy treated by vagus nerve stimulation (mean age of 14.6 ? 2.5 years at the time of implantation). We analyzed the treatment effectiveness at 1, 2, and 5 year follow-up visits. We counted the average number of urgent hospitalizations and number of days of urgent hospitalization per year for each patient before and after the VNS implantation. Results The mean seizure reduction was 42.5% at 1 year, 54.9% at 2 years, and 58.3% at 5 years. The number of responders was 7 (46.7%) at 1 year and 9 (60%) at both 2 and 5 years. The mean number of urgent hospitalizations per patient was 1.0 ? 0.6 per year preoperatively and 0.3 ? 0.5 per year post-operatively (P < 0.0001). The mean number of days of urgent hospitalization per patient w
