Predictors of outcomes after surgery for medically intractable insular epilepsy: A systematic review and individual participant data meta-analysis.

Finally, surgery on the patient's dominant hemisphere was the only variable significantly associated with dysphasia on multivariate analysis (OR = 13.09, 95% CI = 2.22‐77.14, P = .005) while open resection and temporal operculum resections were only trending toward significance on univariate analysis. 3.5 Trade‐off between likelihood of seizure freedom and risk of neurological deficits A two‐by‐two contingency table comparing the prevalence of seizure freedom and permanent postoperative deficit outcomes is shown in Table 7 .
