    Abstract Introduction: Machine learning is a rapidly expanding field and is already incorporated into many aspects of medicine including diagnostics, prognostication and clinical decision-support tools. Epilepsy is a common and disabling neurological disorder, however, management remains challenging in many cases, despite expanding therapeutic options. We present a systematic review protocol to explore the role of machine learning in the management of epilepsy.
    Methods and analysis: This protocol has been drafted with reference to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) for Protocols. A literature search will be conducted in databases including MEDLINE, Embase, Scopus and Web of Science. A PRISMA flow chart will be constructed to summarise the study workflow. As the scope of this review is the clinical application of machine learning, the selection of papers will be focused on studies directly related to clinical decision-making in management of epilepsy, specifically the prediction of response to antiseizure medications, development of drug-resistant epilepsy, and epilepsy surgery and neuromodulation outcomes. Data will be extracted following the CHecklist for critical Appraisal and data extraction for systematic Reviews of prediction Modelling Studies checklist. Prediction model Risk Of Bias ASsessment Tool will be used for the quality assessment of the included studies. Syntheses of quantitative data will be presented in narrative format.
    Ethics and dissemination: As this study is a systematic review which does not involve patients or animals, ethics approval is not required. The results of the systematic review will be submitted to peer-review journals for publication and presented in academic conferences.

    Abstract Objective: Anxiety and depression are common comorbidities in people living with epilepsy. Emerging research suggests that these conditions may even predate epilepsy onset. This review aimed to summarize the prevalence of clinically significant anxiety and depressive symptoms in people with first seizures and newly diagnosed epilepsy, as well as clinicodemographic factors associated with these symptoms.
    Methods: A scoping literature review was performed. OVID Medline and Embase were searched from January 1, 2000, through May 1, 2022. Articles of interest were selected based on predetermined inclusion and exclusion criteria.
    Results: From 1836 studies identified on screening, 16 met eligibility criteria and were included in the review. Clinically significant anxiety and depressive symptoms, as determined by validated cutoff scores for anxiety and depression screening instruments, were common in people with first seizures (range 13-28%) and newly diagnosed epilepsy (range 11-45%). They were associated with a range of clinicodemographic factors including past psychiatric history and trauma, personality traits, self-esteem, and stigma profiles.
    Significance: There is substantial evidence that clinically significant anxiety and depressive symptoms are often present at the time and shortly following the first seizure or epilepsy diagnosis. Future research is needed to better understand the complex interactions between these common psychiatric comorbidities, new-onset seizure disorders, and certain clinicodemographic characteristics. This knowledge may inform targeted and holistic treatment approaches.

    Abstract Purpose: With no reliable surrogate biomarkers for treatment response, people with epilepsy currently await the passage of time to determine whether prescribed treatments are effective. Few studies have examined the issues faced by people with epilepsy during this waiting period. We aim to explore the experiences of people with recently diagnosed epilepsy as they wait to achieve seizure freedom.
    Methods: We purposively sampled adults of working age who had been diagnosed and treated for epilepsy for less than four years. Semi-structured interviews were undertaken between July and September 2021. A thematic analysis using a framework approach was performed.
    Results: We recruited 15 patients. Results revealed four main themes: 1) Impact on mental health, as people with newly diagnosed epilepsy described waiting for seizure freedom as a time of vulnerability, uncertainty, and confusion. 2) Participants described their life as "on hold", prior to achieving effective seizure control 3) Difficulty navigating health systems to find and understand information about epilepsy, tests, and medications, and to find the 'right' health professional to address their needs. 4) Technology systems that support clinician decision making with selecting effective medications early after diagnosis were cautiously welcomed by participants.
    Conclusion: Interventions are needed to reduce the negative impacts experienced by people who are newly diagnosed with epilepsy while waiting for effective seizure control. Technology systems that support clinician decision making were acceptable, as people with epilepsy sought accessible and effective solutions to restore a sense of control in their lives.

    Abstract Purpose of review: An increased interest in epilepsy in older adults has emerged as the global population ages. The purpose of this article is to review the literature regarding the pharmacological treatment of epilepsy in older adults, highlighting issues specifically pertinent to those living with comorbid neurodegenerative disorders.
    Recent findings: Although new original research remains sparse, in the last 5 years, there has been a growing number of studies addressing the relationship between epilepsy and neurodegenerative disorders. Accurate diagnosis is incredibly challenging with electroencephalogram findings often requiring circumspect interpretation. Older individuals are often excluded from or under-represented in clinical trials, and there are sparse guidelines offered on the management of these patients, with even less available in reference to those with neurodegenerative comorbidities.
    Summary: We propose that seizures occurring earlier in the neurodegenerative process should be treated aggressively, with the goal to inhibit neuro-excitotoxicity and the associated neuronal loss. By strategically choosing newer antiseizure medications with less adverse effects and a holistic approach to treatment, a patient's time living independently can be conserved. In addition, we advocate for original, multinational collaborative research efforts.
