Predictors of medical intractability in children with epilepsy onset during the first two years of life, excluding infantile epileptic spasm syndrome

Epilepsy is one of the most common neurological disorders in childhood. Approximately 30% of children with epilepsy have treatment that fails to control seizures [1,2]. Knowledge of long-term outcomes is critical for treating children with epilepsy. Early childhood-onset epilepsy may have a worse outcome, leading to physical, behavioral, and psychosocial morbidities [3,4].
