Surgery for Seizures
Abstract
Of the approximately 2 million Americans with a diagnosis of epilepsy who are treated with antiepileptic drugs, 20 percent continue to have seizures1; this group of patients accounts for over 75 percent of the cost of epilepsy in the United States.2 For many of those with medically refractory epilepsy, their disability can be completely eliminated by surgical intervention. Only a small percentage of potential surgical candidates, however, are currently referred to epilepsy-surgery centers.3 OverviewThe classic 1886 paper of Victor Horsley4 heralded the modern era of epilepsy surgery, and the introduction of electroencephalography (EEG) in the first half of . . .

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
