ABSTRACT

OBJECTIVE:

We set out to evaluate whether response to treatment for epileptic spasms is associated with specific candidate computational EEG biomarkers, independent of clinical attributes.

METHODS:

We identified 50 children with epileptic spasms, with pre- and post-treatment overnight video-EEG. After EEG samples were preprocessed in an automated fashion to remove artifacts, we calculated amplitude, power spectrum, functional connectivity, entropy, and long-range temporal correlations (LRTCs). To evaluate the extent to which each feature is independently associated with response and relapse, we conducted logistic and proportional hazards regression, respectively.

RESULTS:

After statistical adjustment for the duration of epileptic spasms prior to treatment, we observed an association between response and stronger baseline and post-treatment LRTCs (P = 0.042 and P = 0.004, respectively), and higher post-treatment entropy (P = 0.003). On an exploratory basis, freedom from relapse was associated with stronger post-treatment LRTCs (P = 0.006) and higher post-treatment entropy (P = 0.044).

CONCLUSION:

This study suggests that multiple EEG features-especially LRTCs and entropy-may predict response and relapse.

SIGNIFICANCE:

This study represents a step toward a more precise approach to measure and predict response to treatment for epileptic spasms.
