Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This is a retrospective non-interventional study to describe the HCRU and clinical outcomes before and after AspireSR® device implantation in subjects with drug resistant epilepsy at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, Birmingham (QEHB).

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Real-world data on healthcare resource use (HCRU) for subjects with treatment-resistant epilepsy and their clinical outcome prior to- and post-VNS device implantation in the UK are limited.

The current study aims to describe and compare the secondary HCRU and clinical outcomes prior to and following AspireSR® device implantation in subjects with drug resistant epilepsy.

Retrospectively-collected data from hospital medical records (paper-based and/or electronic, as appropriate) will be used to describe subject characteristics, disease control and clinical outcomes. All secondary HCRU data will be extracted from the Hospital Episode Statistics (HES) database by Harvey Walsh Ltd (HW, trading under OPEN VIE). Primary HCRU data will be requested from the subjects' general practitioners (GPs).

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Cohort 1 ("new insertions cohort")

Subjects who have had Aspire SR® implanted as their first VNS model.

No interventions assigned to this group

Cohort 2 ("battery change cohort")

Subjects who have had their VNS battery changed from a previous model to Aspire SR®.

No interventions assigned to this group

Eligibility Criteria

Check the participation requirements, including inclusion and exclusion rules, age limits, and whether healthy volunteers are accepted.

Inclusion Criteria

* Age ≥18 years at AspireSR® device implantation.
* VNS device AspireSR® implantation for the first time or battery change from a previous model to AspireSR® at least 24 months prior to the start of retrospective data collection from medical records.
* Subjects for whom written informed consent has been provided for researcher access to their medical records and extraction of data from HES (if the subject is living and has capacity to consent) or advice from a consultee (if the subject is living but lacks capacity to consent).
* Subjects with available medical history for at least 24 months prior to Aspire SR® implantation.

Exclusion Criteria

* Living subjects for whom consent for researcher access to medical records and extraction of data from HES has not been obtained.
* Deceased subjects.
