Self-reported symptoms of psychological well-being in young adults who underwent resective epilepsy surgery in childhood
Bibliographic record
Abstract
PURPOSE: This study investigated the relationship of childhood resective surgery for lesional epilepsy and recent seizure history on self-reported symptoms of mood and psychological distress in young adults (aged 18-30). METHODS: Ninety-eight individuals with epilepsy of childhood onset were divided into three groups: a seizure-free surgical group (n = 39), a surgical group still experiencing seizures (n = 31), and a nonsurgical epilepsy comparison group (n = 28). Participants completed two standardized questionnaires about current mood state and psychological and psychiatric symptoms: the Profile of Mood States (POMS) and the Symptom Checklist-90 Revised (SCL-90R). KEY FINDINGS: Forty-eight percent of all participants reported a history of psychological problems. The percentage of the seizure-free surgical group who met the SCL-90R criteria for current clinically significant distress was statistically less than in the other groups. Those who were seizure free also reported significantly fewer total symptoms on the SCL-90R. The current number of antiepileptic medications was related to scores on a number of the scales. SIGNIFICANCE: These results provide modest support for the contention that seizure freedom after pediatric epilepsy surgery is associated with reduced risk for psychological distress during early adulthood.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
