Abstract
Compared with more stringent criteria, the new ILAE criteria classify a greater number of patients with drug-resistant epilepsy. A significantly higher proportion of cases meeting this definition subsequently enter remission. A definition of drug-resistance that includes the additional criteria of failure of a third antiepileptic drug or high seizure frequency may better identify patients with truly drug-resistant epilepsy.
