A review of the literature on methods of seizure or epilepsy severity assessments resulted in tabulation of the seizure rating scales known as US Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), Chalfont-National Hospital, Liverpool, Hague, and others. Each of the scales reviewed has some advantages, but none of them appears to be adequate to assess seizure or epilepsy severity. Most of the scales use similar components of seizures to evaluate severity. However, the disadvantages of each scale outweigh its usefulness. New approaches are needed to assess seizure severity for individuals and for use as an outcome measure after intervention such as surgery or medication changes.
对有关癫痫发作或癫痫严重程度评估方法的文献进行综述后，整理出了被称为美国退伍军人事务部（VA）、查尔方特-利物浦国家医院、海牙等的癫痫发作评分量表。所综述的每个量表都有一些优点，但似乎没有一个足以评估癫痫发作或癫痫的严重程度。大多数量表使用类似的癫痫发作成分来评估严重程度。然而，每个量表的缺点都超过了其有用性。需要新的方法来评估个体的癫痫发作严重程度，并用作手术或药物改变等干预后的结果指标。
