Epilepsy prediction models for children and adolescents: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Epilepsy in children and adolescents harms cognitive development and quality of life, necessitating early risk identification to improve outcomes. Yet, current predictive models yielded inconsistent results, demanding a thorough evaluation of their accuracy and effectiveness to guide future research and inform evidence-based clinical strategies. This review aimed to integrate existing research findings on epilepsy prediction models for children and adolescents.

Methods

China National Knowledge Infrastructure, Wanfang Database, SinoMed, China Science and Technology Journal Database, PubMed, Embase, CINAHL, and Web of Science were searched from inception to August 31, 2025. The Prediction Model Risk of Bias Assessment Tool was used to assess the risk of bias and app
