ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVES:
To identify factors affecting the development of drug-resistant epilepsy (DRE), and establish a reliable nomogram to predict DRE development in post-traumatic epilepsy (PTE) patients.METHODS:
This study conducted a retrospective clinical analysis in patients with PTE who visited the Epilepsy Center, Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2013 to December 2018. All participants were followed up for at least 3 years, and the development of DRE was assessed. Data from January 2013 to December 2017 were used as development dataset for model building. Those independent predictors of DRE were included in the final multivariable logistic regression, and a derived nomogram was built. Data from January 2018 to December 2018 were used as validation dataset for internal validation.RESULTS:
Complete clinical information was available for 2830 PTE patients (development dataset 2023; validation dataset 807), of which 21.06% (n = 596) developed DRE. Among all parameters of interest including gender, age at PTE, family history, severity of traumatic brain injury (TBI), single or multiple injuries, lesion location, post-TBI treatments, acute seizures, PTE latency, seizure type, status epilepticus (SE), and electroencephalogram (EEG) findings, four predictors showed independent effect on DRE, they were age at PTE, seizure type, SE, and EEG findings. A model incorporating these four variables was created, and a nomogram to calculate the probability of DRE using the coefficients of the model was developed. The C-index of the predictive model and the validation was 0.662 and 0.690, respectively. The goodness-of-fit test indicated good calibration for model development and validation (p = 0.272, 0.572).CONCLUSIONS:
The proposed nomogram achieved significant potential for clinical utility in the prediction of DRE among PTE patients. The risk of DRE for individual PTE patients can be estimated by using this nomogram, and identified high-risk patients might benefit from non-pharmacological therapies at an early stage.Palavras-chave
