Surgical procedures, histopathological findings, and outcome in 74 patients with lesional MTLE*
Factor | Total number of patients | Number of patients with outcome (%) | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
Class I & II | Class III & IV | p Value | ||||
*See Outcome Data for explanation of Engel Classification. Classes I and II combined represent satisfactory outcomes, whereas Classes III and IV together represent unsatisfactory outcomes. See Resection Strategy for explanation of surgical approaches. Statistical analyses were done with Fisher’s exact test. Comparison of p values: factor present compared with factor absent for seizure outcome—for example, left v right. | ||||||
