ILAE Epilepsy Surgery Outcome Class

ILAE epilepsy-surgery outcome classification (Wieser 2001): seizure-freedom, auras-only status, and current vs baseline seizure days per year map to outcome class 1–6.

Open the calculator → Runs in your browser. Data leaves only if you deliberately send a problem report from the interactive tool.

Example

Completely seizure-free, no auras
No
Auras only, no other seizures
No
Current seizure days per year
2
Baseline (preoperative) seizure days per year
50

Result: ILAE outcome class 3 — 2 seizure days/year vs baseline 50.

The tool opens with these values already filled in. Replace them with your own.

What the result means

Class 1-3
Seizure-free (1), auras only (2), or 1-3 seizure days/year (3).
Class 4-6
To 50% reduction (4), to 100% increase (5), or > 100% increase (6). A postoperative outcome classification, not a treatment order.

What you enter

  • Completely seizure-free, no auras
  • Auras only, no other seizures
  • Current seizure days per year
  • Baseline (preoperative) seizure days per year
