Department of Neurology, Ghent University Hospital, Ghent, Belgium.
Objective: Up to one in four patients living with epilepsy (PwE) mentions financial constraints as a reason for loss to follow-up at the Ndera tertiary neuropsychiatry hospital. Therefore, we evaluated the annual direct medical cost (DMC) and direct non-medical cost (DnMC) of epilepsy and calculated costs assuming different follow-up frequency.
Materials And Methods: DMC data were obtained from a descriptive retrospective study of medical records, pharmacy dispensation and hospital logs of PwE, following their initial consultation in 2018 and who adhered to the normal clinical practice of monthly consultations for one year.
Epilepsia Open

Department of Epileptology, University Hospital Bonn, Bonn, Germany.
Objective: Ictal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can be used as an advanced diagnostic modality to detect the seizure onset zone in the presurgical evaluation of people with epilepsy. In addition to visual assessment (VSA) of ictal and interictal SPECT images, postprocessing methods such as ictal-interictal SPECT analysis using SPM (ISAS) can visualize regional ictal blood flow differences. We aimed to evaluate and differentiate the diagnostic value of VSA and ISAS in the Bonn cohort.

Objective: To evaluate treatment satisfaction, level of anxiety, confidence about traveling with midazolam nasal spray (MDZ-NS), and health-related quality of life in patients with seizure clusters and their caregivers after repeated, intermittent use of MDZ-NS in the outpatient setting.
Methods: We analyzed the psychosocial outcome data from a phase 3, open-label extension trial (ARTEMIS-2; P261-402; NCT01529034) in patients 12 years of age and older with seizure clusters on a stable regimen of antiseizure medications. Caregivers administered MDZ-NS 5 mg when patients experienced a seizure cluster.
