Book excerpt: At the time a diagnosis of epilepsy is made for a child, it is highly desirable to predict seizure control and social outcome several months or even years later. Determination of outcome is complex. This book is revolved around three main questions: - What is to be predicted? Is it seizure control, remission with or without ongoing AED treatment, intractability, social outcome or a combination? - What is the purpose of attempting prediction and who will use the information? - How accurate is the prediction? It takes a critical look at what is known about the outcome of childhood epilepsies, specifically evidence-based findings, and further clarifies the direction of clinical and fundamental research for the future.
