Abstract
ObjectivesWe aimed to investigate the association between multi-modality features and epilepsy drug treatment outcomes and propose a machine learning model to predict epilepsy drug treatment outcomes with multi-modality features. MethodsThis retrospective study consecutively enrolled 103 epilepsy children with rare TSC. Multi-modality data were used to characterize risk factors for epilepsy drug treatment outcome of TSC, including clinical data, TSC1, and TSC2 genes test results, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computerized tomography (CT), and electroencephalogram (EEG). Three common feature selection methods and six common machine learning models were used to find the best combination of feature selection and machine learning model for epilepsy drug treatment outcomes prediction with multi-modality features for TSC clinical application. ResultsThe analysis of variance based on selected 35 features combined with multilayer perceptron (MLP) model achieved the best area-under-curve score (AUC) of 0.812 (±0.005). Infantile spasms, EEG discharge type, epileptiform discharge in the right frontal area of EEG, drug-resistant epilepsy, gene mutation type, and type II lesions were positively correlated with drug treatment outcome. Age of onset and age of visiting doctors were negatively correlated with drug treatment outcome (p < 0.05). Our machine learning results found that among MRI features, lesion type is the most important in the outcome prediction, followed by location and quantity. ConclusionWe developed and validated an effective prediction model for epilepsy drug treatment outcomes of TSC. Our results suggested that multi-modality features analysis and MLP-based machine learning can predict epilepsy drug treatment outcomes of TSC.
