Official title
Prognostic Value of the 5-SENSE Score to Predict Focality of the Seizure-onset Zone as Assessed by Stereo-electroencephalography - a Prospective Multicenter Validation Study
Overview
The purpose of this study is to assess how well a new scoring system called the 5-SENSE score can predict where seizures start in the brain using Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG). The 5-SENSE Score is a 5-point score based on routine presurgical work-up, designed to assist in predicting whether SEEG can identify a focal seizure onset zone, thereby sparing patients the risk of undergoing this invasive diagnostic procedure.
Interventions
- Other Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG)
Participants will under Stereoelectroencephalography (SEEG) as part of standard of care. This is not assigned by the protocol.
Primary outcome measures
- Specificity of the 5-SENSE score for the identification of a focal SOZ on SEEG [Time frame: At time of SEEG, up to approximately 1 month]
- Sensitivity of the 5-SENSE score for the identification of a focal SOZ on SEEG [Time frame: At time of SEEG, up to approximately 1 month]
- Positive predictive value of the 5-SENSE score for the identification of a focal SOZ on SEEG [Time frame: At time of SEEG, up to approximately 1 month]
- Negative predictive value of the 5-SENSE score for the identification of a focal SOZ on SEEG [Time frame: At time of SEEG, up to approximately 1 month]
Secondary outcome measures (3)
- Specificity of the 5-SENSE score augmented by information from auxiliary diagnostic methods for the identification of a focal SOZ on SEEG [Time frame: At time of SEEG, up to approximately 1 month]
- Sensitivity of the 5-SENSE score augmented by information from auxiliary diagnostic methods for the identification of a focal SOZ on SEEG [Time frame: At time of SEEG, up to approximately 1 month]
- Concordance of the 5-SENSE Score with the decision whether to proceed with SEEG or not [Time frame: At enrollment]
Eligibility criteria
