Popis: Aim. To identify predictors of surgical outcomes in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy in a multivariate model.Materials and methods. Aretrospective study included 69 patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy who underwent microsurgical anterior temporal lobectomy. The study included 31 (45%) men and 38 (55%) women. The median age was 28 (21; 36). Surgical treatment outcomes were assessed at 6, 12, 36, and 60 months after surgical intervention according to the Engel Epilepsy Surgery Outcome Scale. Logistic regression equations were calculated, a ROC curve was constructed, and odds ratio (OR) with 95% confidence interval (CI), sensitivity, specificity, area under the ROC curve (AUC) were calculated.Results. In all assessed time periods, 88.3–93.0% of patients had outcomes consistent with Engel classes I and II. The distribution of patients by outcome classes did not change statistically significantly over the entire follow-up period. There were the following predictors of high efficacy of surgical treatment at 6 months after surgery: relatively shorter duration of active disease course (OR 0.719, 95%, CI: 0.437–0.966, p < 0.05), absence of status epilepticus (OR 0.048, 95% CI: 0.002–0.472, p < 0.05), absence of subdominant foci of irritative activity (OR 0.123, 95% CI: 0.012–0.845, p < 0.01), presence of mesial temporal sclerosis (OR 1008, 95% CI: 21.59–1310851, p < 0.01), a relatively longer resection margin on the temporal lobe (OR 637.32, 95% CI: 5.43–1960062, p < 0.05), lateralization of epileptogenic zone in subdominant hemisphere (OR 0.103, 95% CI 0.004–0.937, p = 0.0532). AUC was 0.957 (0.917–0.997), p < 0.0001; sensitivity 87.5%, and specificity 82.8%.Conclusion. Independent predictors of the efficacy of microsurgical anterior temporal lobectomy in patients with drug-resistant temporal lobe epilepsy are the following: shorter duration of active disease course, absence of status epilepticus in the history, absence of subdominant foci, presence of mesial temporal sclerosis, a relatively longer resection margin on the temporal lobe, and lateralization of the epileptogenic zone in the temporal lobe of the subdominant hemisphere.
