Purpose: There is controversy about relative contributions of ictal scalp video EEG recording (vEEG), routine scalp outpatient interictal EEG (rEEG), intracranial EEG (iEEG) and MRI for predicting seizure-free outcomes after temporal lobectomy. We reviewed NIH experience to determine contributions at specific time points as well as long-term predictive value of standard pre-surgical investigations. Methods: Raw data was obtained via retrospective chart review of 151 patients. After exclusions, 118 remained (median 5 years follow-up). MRI-proven mesial temporal sclerosis (MTSr) was considered a separate category for analysis. Logistic regression estimated odds ratios at 6-months, 1-year, and 2 years; proportional hazard models estimated long-term comparisons. Subset analysis of the proportional hazard model was performed including only patients with commonly encountered situations in each of the modalities, to maximize statistical inference. Results: Any MRI finding, MRI proven MTS, rEEG, vEEG and iEEG did not predict two-year seizure-free outcome. MTSr was predictive at six months (OR = 2.894, p = 0.0466), as were MRI and MTSr at one year (OR = 10.4231, p = 0.0144 and OR = 3.576, p = 0.0091). Correcting for rEEG and MRI, vEEG failed to predict outcome at 6 months, 1 year and 2 years. Proportional hazard analysis including all available follow-up failed to achieve significance for any modality. In the subset analysis of 83 patients with commonly encountered results, vEEG modestly predicted long-term seizure-free outcomes with a proportional hazard ratio of 1.936 (p = 0.0304). Conclusions: In this study, presurgical tools did not provide unambiguous long-term outcome predictions. Multicenter prospective studies are needed to determine optimal presurgical epilepsy evaluation. Published by Elsevier B.V.
