Application of the International Classification of Cognitive Disorders in Epilepsy (IC-CoDE) to frontal lobe epilepsy using multicenter data.

ABSTRACT:

Rationale

The International Classification of Cognitive Disorders in Epilepsy (IC-CoDE) was recently introduced as a consensus-based, empirically-driven taxonomy of cognitive disorders in epilepsy and has been effectively applied to patients with temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE). The purpose of this study was to apply the IC-CoDE to patients with frontal lobe epilepsy (FLE) using national multicenter data.

Methods

Neuropsychological data of 455 patients with FLE aged 16 years or older were available across four US-based sites. First, we examined test-specific impairment rates across sites using two impairment thresholds (1.0 and 1.5 standard deviations below the normative mean). Following the proposed IC-CoDE guidelines, patterns of domain impairment were determined based on com
