In brief
This retrospective study identifies clinical predictors of vagus nerve stimulation efficacy in children with medically refractory epilepsy. Analysis of patients receiving VNS implants between 2006-2011 showed 67.4% response rate, with outcomes measured using standardized ILAE seizure frequency scales.

This study explored predictors of response to vagus nerve stimulation in childhood-onset epilepsy. This retrospective chart review included all patients with new vagus nerve stimulator insertion between January 1, 2006, and December 31, 2011. Primary outcome was change in seizure frequency classified on the International League Against Epilepsy scale. Overall, 67.4% (95% confidence limits 53.3%-81…
