Long-term vagus nerve stimulation in children with focal epilepsy

Popis výsledku v původním jazyce

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 intractable focal 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 yearand 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. The mean number of days of urgent hospitalization per patient wa
