Predicting response to vagus nerve stimulation in drug-resistant epilepsy

Machine learning models can predict which patients with drug-resistant epilepsy will respond to vagus nerve stimulation therapy, achieving an average area under the receiver operating characteristic curve (AUROC) of 0.84 across 12 studies comprising 535 patients.
