New model to predict seizures in pregnant women

2019-05-14

Researchers at the Queen Mary University of London have developed a new tool to predict seizures in pregnant women with epilepsy.

The model can be used to identify pregnant women at high risk of seizures and subsequently provide necessary treatment to reduce potentially harmful outcomes caused by seizures. Also see: New tool to predict epileptic seizures in pregnancy could save lives

The newly developed model, called the EMPiRE model, demonstrated good performance on both internal and external validation with a c-index of 0.76 on an external dataset.

The full model is publicly available for use on Evidencio:

The paper presenting the development and validation of the model is published at the open access journal PLOS medicine:
