(Color Online) Seizure effect on Clinical outcomes and Seizure metadata. The seizure effect is the difference between AE points corresponding to the seizure and before-seizure time periods (averaged). (A) Seizure effect differs among different clinical patient groups. Patients with TLE with and without MRI finding show higher effect than extratemporal epilepsy patients. The comparison is highly influenced by patient ID4 in PLE (pos.) group. Investigation in a bigger dataset is required. (B) Surgery outcome shows a relationship with AE seizure effect. Patients with poor surgery outcome have lower mean AE (top). (C) Patients with longer mean seizure length, have better surgery outcome. (D) AE seizure effect negatively correlates with the numbers of seizures per patient. TLE: temporal lobe epilepsy; PLE: parietal lobe epilepsy; FLE: frontal lobe epilepsy; MRI investigation negative (neg.) means no abnormal finding on MRI. Engel scale from (1) patient is seizure free after surgery to (4) has no seizure rate improvement. Note, that the post-hoc analysis was of an exploratory nature; reported p values are not corrected for multiple comparisons.
