Evaluation of ictal electro-clinical findings using standardised feature extraction and machine learning

 

Background: Semiology and EEG provide important electro-clinical information about epileptic seizures. However, in clinical practice these aspects are reported in free-text, which hinders further analysis of large datasets.

Objective: to evaluate the clinical significance of the electro-clinical findings extracted using a standardised system, and then analyzed using a machine learning approach.

Methods: Electoclinical features, comprising seizure semiology and ictal EEG will be retrospectively extracted form a large anonymised database. The features will be extracted and stored using the SCORE system. Gold standard will be extracted from long-term (>1 year) follow-up. Correlation with the focus localization, prognosis and therapeutic outcome will me analyzed using a machine learning approach.

Expected results: This systematic approach will alow us to provide clinicians with evidence-based information on the diagnostic value of the ictal electro-clinical features. This will improve diagnosis, classification and presurgical evaluation of patients with epilepsy.
